Ever thought about taking a class to learn to write comics? Now you can. New York's Hofstra University is offering the course "Writing Graphic Novels" this summer as part of its Summer Writers Program. The class will be taught by Keith Dallas, and the description promises students will have finished a 22-page chapter by the end of the course, as well as learned the basics of the business, both in writing and in approaching artists and others for help. Classes take place in nine sessions running from July 6 through 16, from 9:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, visit Hofstra's page for the program.
