Submit your comics to be featured in new magazine
I'm making a comic magazine and looking for other creators to join.
Here's a link to the Kickstarter with more information about the project, and here is the submission form to use when sending in a comic. I look forward to read your submissions and feel free to ask any questions.
From what I can gather...
* You haven't secured funding guarantees.
* You have no idea what your circulation will be.
* We don't know the cover price (a HUGE factor in whether this fails or succeeds).
* You do mention pay, which is a plus, but it sounds more like you're offering yet another "exposure" opportunity which rarely works out in the artists favor.
I know it seems like nitpicking but I've been at this for over three decades and I've seen a lot of "pie in the sky" things like this come and go. Even if the creators have good intentions, if you don't come at it realistically you're just wasting the time of creators who submit content.
Self publishing is way more accessible now than back when Shonen Jump first became a thing. The appeal of just being published isn't enough. If you had a readership of thousands that is something that can appeal to modern creators. But just being printed isn't going to get you off the ground anymore.
If you're still passionate about this, best of luck. Hopefully you'll prove me wrong.
Hi, yes that is pretty much the gist of it. As you say, nothing is really settled because i want to stay open for the project to evolve depending on what comics I want to include.
It is mainly a way for me to publish my own comic, and thought it would be fun to do it as an anthology. I do not ask for new material, but rather ready made stories that may or may not have been published before. So it’s an opportunity to have your work printed and getting a small payout for work that is already completed.
Thanks for taking your time to write.
