Graphic Novel Submissions

We are currently considering submissions of comics and graphic on an ongoing basis from both new and established creators. Distinctiveness and originality will be a feature of the literary comics we publish. We strongly encourage submissions from diverse communities traditionally underrepresented in publishing. We do not consider superhero comics or children’s books. We strongly discourage conventional approaches to genre work, such as horror, science fiction, or fantasy—though we appreciate submissions which constructively defy categorization. We are particularly excited about, but not limited to, publishing work from Canadian creators.

 
 
 

What do I Submit?

 
 
 

We are looking for fully actualized work in final or near-final form. We prefer to consider completed graphic novels (over 80 pages). At minimum, submissions must include at least ten finalized pages. We do not pair writers with illustrators, nor do we read scripts or consider proposals.
