It being the 21st century and all, we have decided to expand our
submissions policy to include digital submissions! Now, not only can
you forgo the self-addressed stamped envelope as long as you include an
email address, but you can send us your submission through email.
Don't go crazy yet, though. All of our other submission guidelines still apply, and there are some specifically for digital submissions:
E-mail Submission GuidelinesWhen
you send a submission by email, please make your cover letter the body
of the email and include all the material (except the self-addressed
stamped envelope) in one PDF file that is no larger than 10 megabytes.
(Please don't email us to ask how to make a PDF. There are tutorials
online.) Do not send more than one attachment or direct us to a website
to see your comic. Send your email and PDF to submissions@slgpubs.com.
This
is going to be on a trial basis for now. If I find that I'm overwhelmed
by submissions and can't reply to them in a timely way, we might have
to go back to accepting only mailed submissions. (We will, however,
continue to send replies to submissions by email.) So please follow
these instructions to keep the option available to everyone.
I
was motivated to try this out not only to save paper, but to get a
wider variety of submissions. (I'm hoping it will cut down on the
frustration of crazy packaging, huge print outs, and envelopes full of
stickers, as well.) I expect it will also increase the number of
submissions.
With that in mind, I'd like to remind everyone that I am still very much against
comics in which women are only there to be victimized plot devices. The
premature demise of Minx has not convinced me that girls and women do not read comics; I am more certain now that we need comics
that appeal to girls and women, and that it will be up to independent
publishers to provide these, since a major publisher like DC will not
give a line of books for girls time to succeed. We will do our best to get graphic novels into the hands of those who want
to read them, as well as those who didn't know they wanted to read them. |
