LDC Award Ceremony 2020
The awards mission is to celebrate the diverse voices of female-identifying graphic novelists in the UK, spotlighting narratives that give new perspectives on the real dramas of the everyday!

Publisher Presentations
Last year we invited publishers personally connected to LDComics to host stalls during the public day and give illustrated talks about how to get your project published.
We invited Good Comics, Liminal 11, Myriad Editions, SelfMadeHero and Unbound. In addition we invited Gemma Seltzer from Kickstarter to give a presentation about how Kickstarter can assist our projects.


The Laydeez Lounge
A display of all entries submitted to the LDC Graphic Novel Competition 2020 will be available to read in printed zine form.

LDC Reviews
We host 50-minute one-to-one sessions to critically review your work with a leading comics practitioner.

Refreshments available on the day
