We talked about this a while ago, back in San Diego Comic Con.

Where there was the first word about a new creative programme being led by Scott Snyder at DC Comics.

Snyder briefly mentioned an upcoming apprenticeship program for new writers and artists,

With DC Comics firmly on side.

Jim said "The future is about bringing in new talent, keeping the creator pool fresh and vibrant". Scott Snyder will be bringing in his writing programme that he teaches to DC Comics, and they are looking as developing formal training programmes within DC…

And it begins tonight, with the writers….

I start teaching this week. Excited! 1st class of the @DCComics writers development program is Wednesday! — Scott Snyder (@Ssnyder1835) January 4, 2016

I'm sure DC will post a class list this week, or the students will tweet or whatever. But I've got some killer writers in this thing — Scott Snyder (@Ssnyder1835) January 4, 2016

Hoping DC will also post or make one of the classes open to the public so you guys can see what it is. Excited about it. — Scott Snyder (@Ssnyder1835) January 4, 2016

The focus is superhero writing – my goal is to help writers in the class shape personal, passionate hero stories. Not cookie cutter. Excited — Scott Snyder (@Ssnyder1835) January 4, 2016

I would take a class from you anytime, Ed! :) https://t.co/YghTQZb3pP — Scott Snyder (@Ssnyder1835) January 4, 2016

So tonight is my first @DCComics Writers Development class- excited! DC picked some pretty amazing creators for it. Next time open to public — Scott Snyder (@Ssnyder1835) January 6, 2016

This semester is a pilot version, so the students were picked by DC. This spring, there'll be a public application process. Site coming! — Scott Snyder (@Ssnyder1835) January 4, 2016
