Markets for Graphic Novel and Comic Book Writers

Graphic novels and comic books are popular formats with many markets for authors and illustrators to submit their work. Some popular markets include:

  1. Traditional comic book publishers: Many major comic book publishers like DC Comics and Marvel Comics have a long history of publishing comics and graphic novels. These companies are looking for new and established talent to work on their characters and titles.

  2. Independent comic book publishers: There are also many independent publishers that specialize in comics and graphic novels. These include Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and Oni Press.

  3. Digital comics: With the rise of digital comics platforms like ComiXology, and webtoons, authors and illustrators can self-publish their comics and graphic novels online.

  4. Crowdfunding: Some creators use crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter or Indiegogo to fund their comics and graphic novels. This allows creators to bypass traditional publishers and have more control over their work.

  5. Print-on-demand: Print-on-demand services like Lulu, CreateSpace, and Ka-Blam allow creators to print their comics and graphic novels in small quantities and sell them online.

It's important to note that each publisher or market may have different submission guidelines, so it's important to research each one before submitting your work. Additionally, the graphic novels and comic books genre also comes in many sub-genres such as superhero comics, alternative comics, manga, and many more. Each sub-genre may have different preferences and requirements, so it's important to keep that in mind when querying or submitting your work.
