Artists Writers & Artisans Inc is a creative business owned and operated by creators. AWA offers the best deals for creators and the best-purchasing terms for comic retailers. AWA formed to make money, have fun and serve the comic book and graphic novel industries. AWA are investing time and money to build a system that supports a network of Publishers, Retailers Fan Con Promoters and, of course, Artists, Writers and Artisans. Our hope, dream and dead reckoning, is that a network of graphic fiction businesses that cooperate with each other will be able to better service our collective readership, audiences, attendees and customers, fix our profoundly broken industry, make a lot of money and have a lot of fun.
