Agenda

How on earth can you make a living from comics?For more than 25 years, cartoonist and author Demian 5 has been asking himself this que stion, as have countless artists and writers around the globe.

Do yo u need a publisher and a distributor, or is it better to go fully independ ent? How important are social media and the internet? How can you reach a l arger audience? Are subsidies an option, or is it possible to manage witho ut them? What other sources of income are available? Should you attend as m any festivals as possible? Produce merchandise? Launch a crowdfunding campa ign? Is there a way to reduce your expenses? And is it even remotely possib le to get published in major comic markets like France, Japan, or the Uni ted States?

For the first time, the Swiss Comics Artists Association (SCAA) invites you to this panel discussion at Fumetto – and promises to a ctually deliver a few answers!

Demian 5 will be joined on stage by an impressive panel of experts: Indie icon Anna Haifisch from Leipzig, Self- publishing champion Jared Muralt from Bern, Small press market guru Jeroen Funke from The Hague, and the fantastic indie artist Léandre Ackermann fr om the Jura, Co-President of the SCAA.

We look forward to seeing you there!
