Fine artist made a graphic novel by accident,

[holden77]

what the hell do I do with it?
I've been a fine artist for years exhibited/sold etc. knocked it on the head and moved to Japan for no good reason a few years ago.
Last year I thought I'd try writing and drawing a little comic, the little comic became a big old graphic novel.
I got so engrossed in the making of it that I didn't consider what on earth I would do with it, I'm not really a comic dude (I read 2000AD & Crisis back in the day and some Alan Moore stuff but thats abt it) I have no contacts and little knowledge of the industry.
Can any kind soul give me the faintest clue what to do next?

Hi,

Would you like to post a page or two from near the beginning of your graphic novel on the message board so we can know a bit more about it (genre, art style, etc).

Pehaps you should hook up with a small press publisher.

How many pages is it?

Cheers,

Wake

There are a number of independent British comics publishers who would publish a graphic novel, as well as some of the big book publishers. You could always go through the small press or put it out yourself through someone like Lulu. However, as Wake says it'd be handy to know a little more and see a sample of the work.

Agreed, if we have an idea of the style (both writing style AND art style), genre, and that then we might have a better idea for an outlet for it. 

Also an idea of the length might be handy too.

Also an idea of the length might be handy too.

And girth. Don't forget about girth.

Cheers!

I checked his profile details, and with a name like Tonto Pavarotti I think his bases are covered.
