Submissions


So, you want to get published? Well, we can give you that opportunity. DAPshow Press mostly publishes creator-owned material. We will on occasion search for artists to draw books that we write (or come up with the concept with), but generally, we want to publish what YOU create.

We also only publish original material. Please don't send us your fan fiction.


Anthologies

For DAPshow's comic anthologies (i.e. GOTHOLOGY), all you have to do is send us a submission meeting the few requirements that we set. That's it. DAPshow will try to put out a few anthologies a year, so you will have plenty of chances to get into one. Payment won't be received for being in an anthology, but it is a great opportunity to get published and for publicity.

Graphic Novels/Comics

For comics and graphic novels, we pretty much only require a pitch and a few finished pages at the moment. And we will get back to you as soon as we can.

We also only take digital submissions at the moment.

Please send them to info(at)dapshow(dot)com.

We do not pay page rates. Instead, DAPshow press takes a small amount of each book sold, and gives the rest to the creator(s).
Sizes:

Right now, we print in two sizes.  Standard - 6.625 x 10.25 inches (7 x 10.5 with bleed), and Manga - 5 x 7.5 inches (5.5 x 7.75 with bleed).  In the not so distant future, we will add a third "Magazine" size which will be around 8 x 11.

Web Comics

We also host web comics on DAPshow.  If interested in getting hosted on DAPshow, please send an email to info(at)dapshow(dot)com with some information about your comic, and some pages from it.  Artists will keep the rights to their works, and can also post them other places.
