Screenplay Style

Rochester, to whom would you be submitting this graphic novel manuscript? It would have to be a very particular recipient who would take it without panel layouts, and I can't think who that would be. Personal experience: I specified panel layouts for my manuscript, some of them actual little diagrams and some of them descriptions (for the hershey bar layouts). My agent wants me to turn them all into little diagrams before we go out on submission.

Each artist-writer team works differently. Some prefer the writer to be more specific as to their vision. Some leave interpretation of a scene up to an artist. If the writer, though, has something in mind and doesn't communicate it to the artist, it can lead to revision hell, which can become expensive.
