Anyone know of any contests/opportunities for young, aspiring manga artists? I just got this email from someone who came across my Teen Writers site:
Hi Dave,
I have a 13-year-old daughter who has always been a talented artist. She goes through phases of interest and works on perfecting different styles of art.
This year she has been working on something called Manga (sp?). Her pictures are very sci-fi looking combined with the manga style of characters. This weekend she brought me a script she has been writing for her comic she is developing and it blew me away. I have never been interested in this kind of writing or art, but I loved the story! I didn’t even know she could write like that!
Can you tell me if there is any kind of art/writing contest for this style of work? I have always been supportive, but more hands off than anything when it comes to her art and other interests, but this needs to be shared with others who love this kind of stuff. I have no idea which way to point her.
Thanks for any advice you can give!
