My webcomic creator accountability club, The Next Panel, is starting group 6 on September 2nd through November 25th, and applications are open for anyone eligible and interested. It’s free to participate, but I’m strict about the requirements to join and participate. The main emphasis is on improvement, so if there’s something you want to focus on getting better at/learning more/doing more/achieving on time; this might be a good group for you!

Applications are open until: 8/18/2024 6pm CDT

More info follows if you don’t want to click away yet…otherwise the info below repeats what’s on the site.

Groups are small (about 4-6 people); so if this sounds like something you’d like to do, please apply soon! I’ll do my best to answer questions on Reddit if you have them; but I appreciate your patience if I’m delayed in responding. Here’s the link to the Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1emo5jr/webcomic_creator_accountability_club/

WHAT to EXPECT

  • Identify your goals and receive constructive feedback to help you achieve them.
  • Collaborate with like-minded creators, holding each other accountable for progress.
  • Weekly live sessions to discuss successes, challenges, and exchange valuable insights.
  • Stay connected through our Discord channels, where you update others on your progress.
  • Completing Group #6 grants you alumni access to our discord, priority placement in future groups, and a small, exclusive network of like-minded comic creators genuinely eager to help each other improve and succeed.

REQUIREMENTS to JOIN

  • Your webcomic must be Safe for Work (SFW) with content appropriate for all ages. (No Exceptions)
  • Participants should have an existing webcomic that has been regularly updated for at least six months, with a minimum of one update per month. (I’m more flexible for this; explain your situation in the application)
  • Provide a public link to confirm that your current work meets the above criteria. (No exceptions – your site is part of the application)

CLUB COMMITMENTS

  • Try to spend at least 5-10 minutes every day on your improvement goal during the duration of the Group (84 dailies total).
  • Attend club meetings regularly and actively participate in discussions.
  • Share updates at least 3 times a week, asynchronously on a personal, measurable goal, keeping the group informed of your progress via Discord.
