Reminder for official 24HCD locations:

News just went out to the 2010 official host venues: if you register as a Host Site for 24HCD by September 1, you’ll receive a kit from ComicsPRO including flyers, tips, comics and more! Don’t forget to register at www.24hourcomicsday.com.

We have a new site for 24-Hour Comics Day!

You can register now to be an official host venue or to take the challenge as an online participant (online participants are individuals who aren’t going to a host venue to take the challenge–they’re going to do the 24 pages and upload them as they go over the 24 hours).

Once the Event Locator is live, event hosts will be able to log into the site and fix and update their event listings!

As we get closer to the event, more content will be available for official hosts when they log in.

If you have questions or problems with registration, please contact us! 24hcd @ comicspro.org

From the site:

DW&WP is a website and a book (and soon to be two books), wherein we (Jessica Abel and Matt Madden and our crew of busy interns) help you learn to make, read, and teach comics. Our book is for cartoonists and teachers of all kinds, but sometimes the book alone isn’t enough to get you started and keep you inspired, so we’ve built this site to hold all the ancillary, important, interesting stuff we can find or make.
