Comic Book Submissions

Well, part of it is done, anyway.

The cover letter itself is one page. The outline of the series runs another five pages, and the character descriptions totalled up five pages as well, bringing the written portion of the submission to 11 pages. There’s still the actual character designs and the minimum 5 finished pages (Though we’ll probably submit more than that) and we’re good to go.

I’m starting to wonder though if maybe Slave Labor Graphics shouldn’t update their website on submission guidelines or something. They make it quite clear that their submission procedure is to make their life easier and minimize their visits to the post office, asking for submissions to include a self-addressed stamped envelope and not to be registered or certified. However, for a submission that is international, you can’t include stamps with it, and so have to include International Reply Coupons which can redeemed for stamps… once you go to the post office to do it.

Maybe they should say “For non-American submissions, don’t bother with the IRC stuff, we’ll e-mail you.”
