A good way to learn about comic book publishing is by getting a part-time job, internship, or volunteer gig at a comic book publishing company. Attending book festivals and exhibitions where comic book publishers have a booth also offers opportunities to speak with the people who work at the publishing companies, see the types of books they publish, and learn more about how to get a foot in the door. Exploring comic book publishers online is the easiest way to gather information about the industry. Visit the Web sites of Marvel Comics, DC Comics, IDW Publishing, Dark Horse Comics, and others to view the book lists and see what's new.
Join student business organizations—such as Junior Achievement (https://jausa.ja.org), DECA (www.deca.org), Future Business Leaders of America (https://www.fbla.org), and Business Professionals of America (http://bpa.org) to learn more about the business world and participate in activities that develop your leadership, managerial, and financial management skills.
Participate in information interviews and job-shadowing experiences with comic book publishers to learn more about the field.
