I adapted Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby into a Comic

I’ve been building a way to turn prose into sequential visual stories while keeping control over the characters, staging, composition, and shots.

This is my first real test: Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby.

I wanted to approach it like an actual adaptation, not just generate illustrations from passages. I’ve been studying how Korean webtoon studios structure production, especially 콘티 (konti), along with the Marvel Method, and built a NotebookLM project around the course material and research.

The workflow I ended up using was:

Prose → Story Map → Reading Script → Shots & Panels → Generate

I also made everything in 4:5 for social media, which created some interesting constraints around space, pacing, and panel layouts.

Curious what works, what doesn’t, and whether you’d keep reading.

5 Faceless Post Types to Market Your Book

If you're an author who doesn't love being on camera, this is for you.

I just got certified as a creative strategist, and lately I've been putting it to use helping my dad market his walking meditation book.

Showing his face online isn't his thing, so I went digging into how best-selling authors market without being on camera. After going through 100+ posts, here are the 5 that came up most:

  1. One line from the book — a strong quote, the kind of line people underline on Kindle. No plot, no context, just the line, and those are the ones that get screenshotted and shared.

  2. A "what's inside" list — for fiction that's the tropes, for nonfiction it's the key takeaways. Either way a reader knows in two seconds whether it's their kind of book.

  3. "If you liked ___, you'll like mine" — put your book next to a bigger one and match the feeling, not just the genre. You borrow an audience that already loves something like it.

  4. A character introduction — introduce your leads and set up the love triangle or the rivalry. It's one image that tells a story.

  5. Your cover, staged like an event — a clean 3D mockup, treated like a reveal. Try using a scene from your book as the background.

That's 5 of the 16 post types I found. Next up we're running a batch of Meta ad creatives built around these to see what actually performs. Hope this helps!
