Short Comic Submissions Wanted for Journal of Literary Arts

Post by Alexander D. »

Shades of December is now considering for submissions of graphic fiction (comics) for our Spring issue.

comics@shadesofdecember.com
We are looking strictly for complete one-shot stories. Serials and comic strips will not be considered. All submissions will need to be finished projects, including all artwork, inking, and lettering. We are NOT able to help you assemble a creative team. All submissions will be judged as a whole--on the quality of both the writing and the artwork, as well as the legibility of the lettering. We prefer subtle and realistic storytelling. This does not rule out sci-fi or fantasy elements--in fact we enjoy speculative stories. But we do expect to see more than just spiffy gadgets and weird creatures. We want stories that are emotionally and/or intellectually engaging. We are not looking for action/adventure stories.

Our target audience is an open-minded literary community. Other content featured in Shades of December includes poetry, fiction, and drama.

We do consider previously published pieces, but ONLY in the category of graphic fiction.

Please e-mail a detailed synopsis of your story. If you have Web space and can upload your comic, please include a URL, in addition to your synopsis. Otherwise, if it sounds like something we can use, we will make arrangements with you to view the completed work. Alternatively, you may submit the completed piece with artwork on a PC-formatted floppy, ZIP, or CD-ROM. Do not include artwork in your e-mail. Any artwork received by e-mail without prior arrangement will be deleted unviewed.

Past issues have included work by Derek Kirk, Rigel Stuhmiller, Steven Withrow w/Mark Matlock, and Andy Helms.

Please direct submissions to comics@shadesofdecember.com. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
