Subject: APE Workshops
To: Volunteers 1 <

Once again, the Alternative Press Expo has asked me to put together some programming for the convention. These one-hour workshops are a fun way for beginning and would-be comics creators to meet with a creator, pick up some new skills, ask some pressing questions and get the most out of their convention experience.
I’m posting a copy of a previous schedule to give you an idea of what kind of material you can cover in a one-hour workshop. If you participated last year and would like to do something similar to last year’s workshop, that’s great. If you’d like to try something completely different, that’s great, too. If you want to recommend someone else, have topics that you’d like to learn about, or know of subjects that the typical APE-goer will want to learn about, lay them on me.
Thanks very much for your consideration! Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Best,
Andrew
