Emil Wilson on Memory, Family, and Graphic Storytelling – The Writing Coach Ep. 229
Graphic novelist Emil Wilson joins Kevin Johns to discuss his stunning debut, The Nightingales, a sketchbook-style, semi-autobiographical story about family, memory, AIDS, queer identity, and empathy. They dive into visual storytelling, composition, colour, humanizing “antagonists,” and how Emil’s background in advertising and design shaped this powerful, genre-bending book.
