Held in PR 09: F(r)iction. Although we're happy to review ink, coloring, and writing for traditional comics, we're particularly interested in creator-owned stories, either in short or long form. Our publishing department, F(r)iction, specializes in writer/artist teams or solo creators, so we're happy to review portfolios both as art directors and as editors. The bulk of our comic creators are early in their career, with a few publications under their belts. For example, we're particular drawn to creatives with a legacy of storytelling (a webcomic that's been running for a couple years, a crowd-funded anthology, experience on a traditional run, etc) who are ready to take the next step in their career.
