1.) Please read the Submission Guidelines PDF, submit your pages, fill out form. Covers LOTS of details. All here: http://sparklermonthly.com/about/submissions/ …
We're getting a lot of questions about submission specifics, so we'll go over a few things now! http://sparklermonthly.com/about/submissions/ …

2.) We don't throw out submissions because someone did one little thing wrong. Just do your best and you should be fine, we'll look at it.
-
3.) That said, you MUST submit both sample pages AND fill out the form. If we receive one but not the other, we can't review it, sorry.
-
4.) If you can't finish 3-5 pgs of your pitch, but you can send other finished comic pages of yours, we'll review it, just not preferred.
-
5.) We said we have some preferred/discouraged genres, but we've always considered anything, if it's good enough. Pitch your BEST.
-
6.) Our editors are very experienced (30+ years combined in comics). We review work critically, carefully. We know what to look for.
-
7.) Don't worry that one slant vs another will kill your chances. If we see talent, we usually talk to you, regardless of what you pitched.
-
8.) There's no magic formula for being accepted, so just follow directions, send us your best work, and we'll take you seriously.
-
9.) And thank you for your hard work! We know pitching is tough, and we're honored you're considering us. :)
-
11.) Oh, we've said this, but it bears repeating: you CAN pitch an existing self-published webcomic/webfiction, as long as it's not finished
-
12.) If you have something only released behind a paywall (like Patreon), we can consider that, too. Nothing owned by another publisher pls.
-
13.) Did you do a short for an anthology, you got rights back, and you never published the whole thing free online? We'll consider that, too
-
14.) If you don't know what/how we publish, our most recent Issue #037 is free! Download it, see how we do stuff: http://sparklermonthly.com/shop/free-chapter-download/sparkler-monthly-issue-037-downloads/ …
-
15.) If you want to hear about our open submission process from someone who was published from it, read this :Dhttps://twitter.com/foxnettle/status/771739868447674368 …

16.) More on how to select the best pages for your sample, if you're submitting a comic:http://sparklermonthly.tumblr.com/post/149845897658/hi-for-the-comic-i-want-to-pitch-ive-already …

can a story have 5,000-30,000 words total but not have 5,000-10,000 words per chapter? Only part that's throwing me off.
-
.@Changeling_Firi Ideally, we want 1-3 chapters, 5K to 10K words per chapter. But we're somewhat flexible, you don't have to stick exactly.
-
.@Changeling_Firi What we DON'T want is 30,000-word story that can't be broken up. We can't run an entire novella in 1 magazine issue, etc.
