"Avengers scribe Brian Michael Bendis is to pen a comics writing guide for Random House. Words for Pictures: The Art and Business of Graphic Novels will provide writers with careers advice as well as hints and tips, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Bendis was inspired to embark on the project after being inundated with fanmail asking how to break in to the industry. &amp;quot;It would be nice to just hand them a book and go &amp;#039;Here is everything I would tell you if we were hanging out&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; he explained.  The book will cover a range of topics, from writing style to creator&amp;#039;s rights. &amp;quot;We read in the paper every week someone did something wrong, someone didn&amp;#039;t sign something, someone didn&amp;#039;t protect themselves,&amp;quot; Bendis added. &amp;quot;Every minute there are more and more platforms in which you can succeed and get ripped off. You need to protect yourself.&amp;quot; Words for Pictures: The Art and Business of Graphic Novels arrives in stores in 2013. &amp;gt; Brian Michael Bendis writes &amp;#039;Spider-Men&amp;#039; &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Avengers&amp;#039; writer Brian Michael Bendis to leave series in 2012 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
