Well, the two month hiatus on submissions is almost over! As I read
through about 200 submissions, most of them electronic, there were a
few recurring problems that I hope those of you who are planning to
submit to us will try to avoid. So, before you send your submission,
please ask yourself these questions:
1. Did I follow SLG's submission guidelines?
Having
to send an email that says, "I cannot properly evaluate this project
because it did not follow our submission guidelines" is a minor
inconvenience. Having to send a score of them starts to be irking,
especially since the time it takes to do this takes away from time I
could spend looking at a submission that does follow our guidelines.
2. Is my graphic novel in color? Have I specified whether I would agree for it to be in black and white?
If
you take a look at SLG's output for 2009 (and please do -- see below),
you'll find that we published only two full-color graphic novels, and
those were both Disney licensed titles. You should assume that we do
not want color books. If you want to present some color art for us to
consider, that's fine, but to be safe, you should think in
black-and-white.
3. Does my project fit in with what SLG publishes?
While
we do publish a diverse line of books, you'll find we do not publish
bondage porn, 12-volume space opera epics, or traditional superhero
comics. Please familiarize yourself with what we have most recently
published, and do not rely on stereotypes that include the words "goth"
or "Hot Topic."
4. Am I patient?
Please keep in mind when you submit that there is still about a four-month waiting time for a response.
Thank you! |
