Writer. Editor. Consultant. Comics. Film. Televison.

Jim Higgins

Comic books and movies are more closely linked than ever before. I'm someone with a foot firmly planted in both worlds. I have a background in comics as an editor, writer, and small publisher, and in film as a screenwriter, critic, and scholar.

And more...

Are you a producer looking to make a comics adaptation or prequel of your film in development or pre-production?

Are you a screenwriter who wants to make a graphic novel out of your script, either to help sell it or to just have the satisfaction of seeing it finished in some form?

Are you a production company looking to produce comics to help your properties get sold but don't know the business of comics publishing?

I can adapt your work into a comic script, get an artist to draw it, and see the graphic novel through every step from finished art to finished book.

WHAT I LOOK LIKE 

I've done re-writes on screenplays and was a writer on a team developing a genre franchise of features.

I have a Master's and Bachelor's degree in cinema studies.  I taught cinema and have been working in film festivals off and on since 2002.

I've edited hundreds of stories over the course of my career.  People I've worked with have taken the stories I've helped them develop and gotten them published by comics companies like Action Lab, picked up by Cartoon Network to be a series, and optioned for film and television.
