For a while now ive been wanting to create a christian graphic novel. But ive always wondered how does one go about marketing a graphic novel specifically to christian teens around the country?

see what Kingstone Comics is up to. They have had success in the arena. They just got into Walmart and Sams as well as Lifeway Books. The CEO (Art Aryis) told me that the best way is to stay focused and have a great presentation. He also said be comfortable with not succeeding at first. He said it took him a few tries to get it right.
Hmm... Other than that, I'd say make your name familiar to your audience in a context related to your theme. People are saying, "I can trust Tiago to give me a solid story about __________."
Platform for fiction is a slippery thing, though.
Best of luck with it :)
Ill have to check it out.!
I have a book on my reading list that I cannot wait to get to. It's called "Platform: Get Noticed In A Noisy World". It's written by Michael Hyatt who's the current CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers.
