MIDNIGHT INK: a bi-monthly sequential art anthology: Submissions: Incomplete Serial Stories

INCOMPLETE SERIAL STORIES

Please DO NOT send your originals.

Send us a high quality Black & White photo-ready reproduction resized to fit within a 7.5 inch x 10 inch window. Your entire image should fit within that margin unless it is meant to be full bleed. Number the pages with a pencil and DO NOT send any double-sided pages. The better the copy you send us, the better it looks in the completed book.

Separate each episode with some distinct marker/sign/page. We prefer that you send at least 2 completed episodes. If possible, please include an estimation of how many episodes the story will last. If your episodes are too much longer than 15 pages each, they may be rejected. Please keep that in mind for future episode production also.

We will confirm receipt of the submission within 24 hours.

If your submission(s) is accepted for publication, you will be mailed a contract which you must sign and return before the current submission deadline date. You will be notified which issue(s) your submission(s) is most likely to appear in. You will also be sent an Info/Bio-Form to fill out. The information you put on that form will be posted on this website and linked to a preview/picture of your submission(s). If you do not want your info posted on this site, you can check the appropriate box on the form, but there are some mandatory fields that you must fill out. Midnight Ink will keep that info for recording purposes only.

At the conclusion of each serial story, all the episodes will be combined and printed in one complete volume. If your submission is chosen for this process, a new contract will be sent out which will detail the payment arrangements.

If your submission(s) is not accepted, you will be notified by mail along with a list of reasons for rejection. Your submission will not be returned unless you sent it with a self-addressed stamped envelope for that purpose. Even if we do not return your submission, it will NEVER be used in any way/shape/form by Midnight Ink or Tainted Muse Productions without your permission. If the editors of Midnight Ink decide at any point in the future that they want to print your submission, it still WILL NOT be used until you are notified and a contract is signed.
