Editorial Policy The Girly Comic is self-published and I do not expect it to make a profit. Any profit that is made will be used to fund the next issue of the comic. Therefore, please be aware that you will not be paid for any work that you submit, but you will receive a free contributor's copy. I am hoping to use the comic to promote other work by the contributors. Any work submitted will remain the copyright of the original creators, with The Girly Comic having first print publication rights and the right to reprint the strip in the event of bringing out trade paperbacks of the comic. The Girly Comic aims to be suitable for teenagers upwards, and does not intend to carry a mature readers warning. Therefore submissions should not contain scenes unsuitable for that age range. This does not mean that swearing, sex and violence are banned as they are a part of life that people see everyday. Just that if your submission involves them then it should be because they are essential to the story and are dealt with in a sensitive, rather than gratuitous, way. Submissions on any topic or from any genre are welcome as the comic is aiming to have a diverse range of stories. However, all stories must have a female main character or some aspect that fits into a 'girly' theme. I am looking for original work, so please do not submit any strips involving characters that are the copyright of another creator or company. Also please do not submit work that has already been used elsewhere. Strips should be self-contained stories and a maximum of seven pages. The pages will be A5 size: 210 x 144mm and in black & white. Strips shorter than seven pages are preferred! Writers I am currently accepting submission for future issues. If you would like to submit then please email Selina Lock with a written script or to discuss your ideas. Artists I am currently accepting submission for furture issues. If you would like to submit then please email Selina Lock with samples of your work or a website where your work can be found. I will then let you know if I like your work and discuss what strips we have that need illustrating. Writer/Artists I am currently accepting submissions for future issues. Please email Selina Lock with a synopsis or full written submission so we can discuss whether I think the strip would be suitable. Other Please email Selina Lock to discuss how you would like to be involved in the comic.
