Re: Editor/Agent Available
Hello alittlegrim, My name is Robert Finch. I’m a comic scripter and prose writer with some minor journal and work credits. I’m looking for an editor to not only help me take my work to the next level, but to introduce me to the world of publishing and proper pitch format and technique. I see that y...

Thanks Ray
First off, really sorry for calling you Henry, Ray. I’ll endeavor to do better. Anyway, this seems far more advanced than what I’ve heard from you and others before, so I’m glad that you’re making progress. I’m still fairly skeptical given the testimonies I’ve had from others, so at the ...

Steps Forward
Thanks for the reply Henry, It sounds great that you’re acknowledging your mistakes and attempting a new approach. Bringing on more permanent staff members sounds like a great idea, as it would allow you to better manage freelancers and help you focus more on the editorial aspects. However, I stil...

Inconclusive
Hey Henry, All I’m sure of is that, 5 or so years ago, everything I stated about the poster’s comic organization was going on. I even had some direct interaction with the company itself, as well as interaction with quite a few writers and artists. I also was given access to a humongous database ...

Concerned
Hey Ray, Not the first time I've seen you making posts...was actually considering contributing years ago. However, what turned me off to your company was not only the lack of up-front pay but most importantly the failure of many of your projects to result in finished comics. I've heard many stories ...

Great Stuff!
Hi!
I don't have any current projects to offer you, but I wanted to comment on your excellent work. I rarely see this level of photo-realism in comics. It's excellent stuff!!

There are usually only two ways you get an artist. A. Pay. B. Convince the artist that your script is worth their while. If you desire a partnership with an artist you need to be able to offer something of value to them. Even if there is an artist with spare time who wants to find loose scripts to d...

I recommend defining what “serious artist� means for you then, because “doesn’t flake� is a perfectly reasonable requirement. However I (as well as many others) may have read “serious� as “professional.� I will say this however... 1. You don’t have nearly enough information about...

Do not expect "serious artists" to respond to a post like this. Artists willing to work for no upfront payment are usually artists just starting out or development. These artists, unless you win their trust, will only go as far as is comfortable for them, not because they're lazy, but because drawin...

You should spell-check the note you linked to. Even if you don't care about "not paid" collabs, your promotional materials should still be spell checked. As far as I can see, the linked site is a promotional one that advertises your book and allows them to buy it. Your readers will care if the book...

You give zero info.
Who are you?
What stories do you like to write?
Examples of your body of work?
What sort of artist are you looking for?
Sorry, but no one is going to contact you just because you're a writer. You're going to have to properly introduce yourself to us.
Best,
Rob

Some issues here. Pitches like this seem to never work...sorry man. I've been in your shoes. I'd even make the argument that even if you offered money you'd have difficulty getting the talent you'd need. Thankfully there are a few things you can do to improve this ad and attract artists with a diffe...

My bad I left out a zero - the most important one at that ! That makes no sense to me sadly.

What comics would you do? What's your vision for the site? If this is backend, how soon can one expect money while you build up an audience? You won't get a serious artist application unless you explain why someone would want to join your project or exactly how money will be made. Simply stating tha...

A couple things. I recommend to always be upfront about what you're doing and how. You don't even have to say much, simply give a synopsis, what you're trying to accomplish, and your payment plan. If you think giving a synopsis will "spoil your idea" I've learned that concepts alone are next to wort...

This is a recommendation from someone who is going through much of the same in terms of also creating a project, but...try saving your money if you're truly passionate about this and paying an artist and/or cowriter.

Not an artist
I think your art is fairly excellent. You have some perspective issues, but even these I had to look fairly hard for. With some additional practice I think you're more than capable of drawing your own comic, and I think you would save a fair amount by doing so. The page 11 I saw is very atmospheric,...

hey Joel, There's a saying around these parts. "You can only two of three things in an artist: expediency, quality, or cheapness." In other words, the best scenario you can hope for is an artist who does quality art but takes a year :D. I...actually am not exaggerating. I highly recommend that if yo...

We're going to need more details. Website? What sort of anthology? What is your mission statement?

You will get better results with a proper ...

Comics Anthologies available to submit to?
First off, went down here to check things out (since never did change Zwol from my homepage) and am glad the spam is gone!
Secondly, I wonder if anyone is aware of any good anthologies to submit to this Summer and/or fall?
