Manga Project Mentorship (LIMITED SLOTS)

ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭ ̀ˋ get those ideas from your head to paper, and bring you very own manga to life!

Whether you’re preparing for a manga competition, your own webtoon project, or just thinking of making your own comic, this mentorship package will be specifically designed to help you:

• achieve clarity on your goals.
• overcome the overwhelm of writing a manga.
• stay accountable for getting that manga out of your brain and into the world!

This mentorship is for you if:

• You are not sure what to improve on your manga.
• You find the steps to make a manga confusing, or overwhelming.
  
• You want to improve your manga!

I’m currently an author to my webtoon series, working with Japanese manga editors for a one shot! I’ve won a Japanese manga award (and have been a manga reader for 15 years). ⁽ ¨̮⁾⁽¨̮ ⁾*˚‧♡

If theres anything else you need to know about me:

This was the first year I decided to do art seriously full time… Coming out from my gap year in January 2024, I didn’t know where things were going. Half of me was preparing to go into a day job in healthcare because that was what was expected of me, the other side of me wanted myself to take my own step forward. But while I was making my decision in February, I received news that the manga I had drawn had won an award from Silent Manga Audition, followed by approval of my fellowship application for Perth Comic Arts Festival x Centre for Stories. I took it as a sign to go all in. For the next couple of months until June, I was living in the family home, working full-time on my art preparing for conventions, and on the one shot for the comic fellowship.

Working on my manga skills, winning this manga competition and writing this first one shot was life-changing for me, and I wish to use all of what I have learnt to help you as much as I can on your journey!

I want to be here to support you, because I know how alone it can feel being a beginner manga artist. The first time I was in contact with a mentor made me feel so much supported, and I felt like I had room to find a sense of direction. So if you’re feeling up for it, let’s make more great art together!

Love, Katie

• Select the number of pages of manga you'll plan to send for critique
• Sign up by purchasing the corresponding selection!
• I will contact you to ask if you prefer us to arrange a short 20 minute Zoom call to discuss your goals or I will send you a worksheet you can write up about your goals for me to read!

• I will send you back a 20-30 minute video, where I talk about what is delicious about it, and how you can improve your manga even more.
• At this point, you can ask any questions that you want me to clarify!

By the end of this project-based mentorship, I aim for you to feel more confident in creating manga by yourself! You'll receive personalised feedback and will be given advice on what to work on in your future manga.
