Are you a writer of graphic novel scripts? Or a illustrator with a passion for storytelling? Or maybe you're a graphic designer? A aspiring journalist? Either way, this is for you!
COSMIC is releasing our first zine, and we want talented contributors like you involved.
We'll be taking pitches in two categories, both to be released in a Winter 2025 zine.
TORCHBEARER: Big worlds, big ideas. The bold, ambitious, high concept projects (or voices) that light the way.
SUNCATCHER: Shimmering romance, cutesy fantasy, funny sci-fi, and queer romance with emotion stakes.
Pitches can be in the following categories:
- Original short graphic novel pitches (think 5-10 pages)
- Funnies comic strips (think 1-3 pages)
- Excerpts from published or pre-published graphic novels
- Excerpts from webcomics
- Features/interviews focusing on exceptional talent
- Features focusing on exceptional media - what have you been watching or playing lately?
- Standalone illustrations
- Graphic novel design/formatting pitches
What happens if you get selected?
- You'll work with our editors to develop your pitch
- You'll join a discord with all the other contributors
- You'll have the opportunity to attend workshops and parcipate in podcast interviews
- All project copyright will remain with you! All we ask for is non-exclusive publishing rights
- You'll get a contributors share in anything the zine earns
- A percentage of profits will go to a charity of the contributors' choice
