Comics Coven 2026: An Enchanting Year of Comics & Graphic Novels with Maureen Burdock

A year-long creative sanctuary for visual storytellers who are ready to commit to their craft.


In this intimate year-long journey, you’ll immerse yourself in the art and craft of graphic narrative alongside a dedicated community of fellow visual storytellers. This course is designed to inspire you month after month; to give you sustained momentum and a solid sense of community; to sharpen your knowledge of the genre through reading and discussion; to untangle any snags you might encounter regarding content, form, and technicalities; and to help empower you to bring your short comic or longform work out into the world, where it can do some good!


You’ll . . .

  • Dive deep into the graphic narrative form through monthly book discussions—reading and analyzing powerful graphic novels together
  • Build lasting connections with fellow creators in an intimate, supportive community
  • Develop and refine your own graphic narrative project with consistent feedback and encouragement
  • Explore new tools, techniques, and approaches to keep your practice fresh and inspired
  • Receive personalized guidance through six private one-on-one mentoring sessions with Maureen

Comics Coven includes:

  • Two monthly meetings, 90 minutes each:
    • First & Third Saturday of the month, 10AM PST (11AM MST, 1PM EST, 7PM Amsterdam)
      • The first meeting of each month will be dedicated to discussing a graphic novel (titles TBA)
      • The second session will be a combination of discussing your creative practice—what’s working and what’s not, sharing your work in progress, and playful prompts to keep you inspired!
  • Six hour-long private mentoring sessions with Maureen over the course of the year

Meets January through November 2026, with the exception of July (summer vacation month)

Private mentoring with maureen Burdock

I know the process of making comics inside out!

I’ve published two non-fiction graphic novels (a third is on the way), several shorter comics, and I’m the author of a co-edited book and multiple essays in the field of comics scholarship. I’ve taught college writing and graphic novels. As a graphic designer, I worked in the art department of an offset printing company, where my job was to clean up files and get them ready for print. Over the years, I’ve worked with many authors as a book designer and illustrator. I continue to work as a book illustrator and editor. I know the self-publishing process and all it entails. I also help authors with agent and publisher query packages. 


I can help you:

  • Draw and/or write your graphic novel or comic
  • Find your story’s themes and form
  • Determine the size and format of your project
  • Create a template to streamline work flow
  • Script your work
  • Create thumbnails to scale
  • Conduct primary & secondary research
  • Keep an organized archive
  • Create printer-ready files
  • Self-publish
  • Find an agent
  • Create agent & publisher query packages
  • Track your submissions
  • Stay motivated & work through creative blocks
