Kris Simon’s Top Five Suggestions Regarding Comic Book Submissions
Kris Simon is an editor at Shadowline Comics, an imprint of Image. You can see her list of submission tips here.
1. Follow the posted submission guidelines. When editors make these lists, this rule is almost always listed first. YES, THE GUIDELINES APPLY TO YOU. Not following them can only hurt your chances of getting published.
2. Don’t overthink things. At Shadowline, you only need to worry about five sample pages (inked, lettered and preferably colored), a paragraph-long synopsis and a cover. Kris doesn’t want more than that because you may need to scrap a lot more work than necessary. Notably, Shadowline doesn’t want the script and doesn’t want a page-long synopsis.
