Caption Small Press & Comics Festival

Portfolio Reviews

This year’s Caption is taking an educational direction by giving attendees opportunities to speak directly to established creators for guidance and advice on their own projects. For many people, the creative process can be laborious and isolating. Without a support network, virtual or in person, or even just someone on the same wavelength as you, it’s difficult to get constructive feedback that isn’t too dismissive or subjective. For this year at Caption, we are looking to highlight the way established creators can help up and coming creators, whether in a practical way like storytelling or printing, to more promotional activities with marketing, exhibiting at conventions, and dealing with social media. So for Caption Rebirth, alongside the panels mentioned above and valuable networking opportunities with other creators, we are introducing a limited number portfolio reviews with our volunteer guests.

These will be 20 minute slots throughout the day, with one on one discussions with established creators who have been exactly where you are and have continued to succeed in their own unique ways. The review is informal, without promise of employment, nor bias or agenda- we’re there to help in whatever ways you’re looking for. To that end, they are FREE with a valid ticket for the festival. This is an unique opportunity to spend quality time with professionals. We expect these portfolio reviews to go quickly on a first come- first served basis, so you can register your interest with your contact details, preferred professional and a brief paragraph of what type of advice or help you’re looking for when you buy your ticket. If you already have a tick, then email us HERE with your ticket reference number. Don’t forget to add the below information:
