Before You Submit!
Take a look at the kind of books that our company produces. please notice, most of our books are manga style or anthropomorphic, so it is recommended that you submit concepts that are specific to those styles. Some of the concepts out there have more universal appeal to many publishers, some don't. Gear your submission toward the style and look that our company produces and you'll be okay. Your submission doesn't have to be Furry NOT Ninja Highschool related.
How To Submit!
It is far more desirable for you as a submitting artist/writer to be versed in penciling, inking, and writing. As a producer, we prefer creators who can do it all. If you can't ink your own work, but we like your pencils, we'll team you up with an inker, but remember, the royalty will now be spread between you and the inker. The same deal applies if you work with a writer. It's much more beneficial for you to be multi-talented in these areas, but it's not essential.

SEQUENTIAL art. MAKE SURE THAT THESE ARE NOT YOUR ORIGINALS, but PHOTOCOPIES of your work.
- We tend to look for a MANGA / ANIME or ANTHROPOMORPHIC styles of artwork, a style that many of our creators employ. If you don't employ any of these styles, that's fine, we'll review your work regardless, besides manga / anthropomorphic's are not the only styles we will produce.
- Examples of your published work if applicable.
- If you wish to submit your own original series, we suggest you start with a one-shot or a 3-4 issue mini-series.
What You Shouldn't Submit
- A portfolio of pin-ups, remember we're in the panel to panel business.

General Guidelines:
Writers
What You Should Submit
- 1-4 page typed story synopsis or a treatment.
- A typed cover sheet of the overview of your story. Example: How many issues the story will be and how many pages per issues. 1-4 issue mini-series are preferred over ongoing series. Stories that are finite encourage the retailer to give your new comic a chance, and, even if sales are low, we, the producers, will be more likely to finish the mini-series' run for the sake of completeness. Ongoing, unproven series that get low sales are more likely to be cancelled because of the monthly financial loss. - Published work that you've done if applicable.
What You Shouldn't Submit
Full 20 issue scripts or a 1000 page opus that we would never have time to read
