Revolt Komiks is constantly taking submissions and since a good chunk of its submissions are veteran voiders I figure I'll make this place the first to get the memo.
So somethings you should know about this gig before signing up.
~We are a manga inspired, serial pulp comic anthology that uses the japanese manga method of having serial comic chapters compiled every month from various artists. The only difference is that unlike Shonen Jump, we release every month instead of every 2 weeks.
~To get started we will be accepting standalone one shots, or 2 chapter-length Pilots that run at a minimum of 36-60 pages. For more details on submission, Email mangaofnakama@gmail.com.
~You will get paid royalties only. Meaning that for every issue you show up in, the money YOU get will be based on sales alone. So don't look forward to anything that will pay soon or pay your rent. BUT this also means that if we do well the amount you get back could be huge. Again, we believe that the quality of your work should speak for itself.
~YOU WILL GET PAID
~Long term serial artists can assemble a tankobon [or graphic novel] under our publishing deal, for every 6-9 chapters we can assemble a book for ya and the royalties for that is much higher than if you were to show up on our monthly issues.
What we can offer:
As a company we have publishing deals with large distributors that hits international markets in 3 continents, as well as an editing staff that does the grunt work of book compilation and assembly for you. Not to mention a chance to get published in what could arguably be the first "international" manga publication. What this means is that we intend to translate our works in as many different languages possible to circulate it around the world. Multilingual artists are definitely a plus.
The best part ? There's no financial risk. If it doesn't sell you only lost time with us but you can keep your work for portfolio use and future employment.
What we like
Despite being a "manga" inspired company we embrace different approaches and styles so long as
-It's Black and White.
-Has competent writing.
-Looks complete.
- Is on a professional level that is salable.
Revolt Komiks also focuses on very specific themes such as:
Revolution
Adventure
Humanity
Virtue
Works that exhibit 3 out of 4 of these things are eligible to get published.
A few examples of works that we have include
A sci-fi fantasy involving a virtual MMORPG.
A crime drama.
And a martial arts epic.
A couple reality checks.
+ You can work from home so long as you have a scanner , an internet connection and a microphone.
- Even if you get serialized, theres a chance you'll get dropped. This is true for other jump publishers, if there isn't any sales or appeal being generated by a series, it tends to have a short life.
+ Depending on your local area we may send you to conventions. Paid. With a table. And 50 rounds of ammo.
+ We're looking for fresh tackles on the great manga experiment. That means we're not shooting for 10 chapter fight scenes, 500 chapter serial epics, or even super sexualized or objectified female casts. We're not japan , we're not japanese, so technically we can't actually make manga. We aim to make something new, internationally appealing and equally representational.
Take everything you hated about every cheap marketing ploy that every mainstream works did turn that hatred to bullets, inks and pages.
Operators are standing by.
