I'm back! Y'all didn't scare me away. Can you believe it?
Anyway, I'm having fun writing a graphic novel and have looked at the books you guys suggested, so I'm getting more educated...I think.
I have a question about lettering, though. I know that when submitting as a newbie you have completed pages both penciled and inked, but do publishers/agents expect lettering?
It seems to me like no, but then what does your proposal look like when you submit. Do you submit the completed pages without the lettering and then separately send the script without the panel descriptions?
I've heard bad lettering can kill a project, so I'm not sure I want the artist I work with to attempt it. I could also hire someone, but if it's not necessary then I don't see the point since it seems like many publishers now use computers to do the lettering or have their own letterers. Thoughts?
