Comicbook Artists Guild Announces
CAG's First Prose Project
 
The Leadership Team is excited to announce the details of the next Guild project, which will be a prose anthology.  Please see below for more information and submission guidelines. 

CAG PROSE PROJECT SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES

Project Coordinator: Chris Buchner
 
The CAG Prose Project (Name TBD) is designed to be a vehicle where the writers of CAG can shine without relying entirely on an artist in the largely visual world of comics.  The theme of the project is science fiction.
 
WRITERS:
All interested writers must submit a pitch giving a general overview of their story.  The pitches can be either a paragraph or more as needed, but no longer than a full type-written page.  These pitches will be read and considered on an as-received basis.  The writers will then be notified of their acceptance or rejection.  If a story is rejected, that writer is allowed to turn in another pitch so long as it's before the pitch cut-off date.  Only one active pitch per writer, please.  REMEMBER: Spelling, grammar and sentence structure count favorably on your behalf.  We know you have the story, but we also need to know you can write it.
 
Pitches are due by July 15th.
 
Once a pitch is approved, a writer will have two months from the date of approval to write their story.  Each story should be no more than 20 pages in length, single spaced, 12 point type.  If you cannot fill 20 pages, do not try to stretch your story out.  Less is fine.  If you feel you will need more than 20 pages, let the project coordinator know and it will be discussed.  However, stories will only be allowed page extensions within reason.  Try to keep your additional page needs below double-digit numbers.
 
THE EDITING PROCESS:
Once a story is submitted, it will be reviewed by the editorial staff and appropriate corrections made (spelling, grammar, etc).  Larger corrections, such as the need to rework a sentence, or suggestions for possible improvements will be made in the form of notes.  These are only suggestions; the writer is free to come up with their own improvements. 
 
The edited stories will be sent back to the writers to look over.  If there are any disputes with any corrections or notes, they can be brought to the editors' attentions and discussed.  If everything looks fine, all the writer has to do is respond saying so and the story will be made ready for print.  REMEMBER: The editors' job is to help your story be the best it can be, not to completely rewrite it.
 
RESTRICTIONS:
-No explicit material.  Keep the sexuality and gore descriptions to an as-much-as-needed basis.
-Political correctness isn't necessary, but be careful how you handle any hot button topics or subjects (homosexuality, racism, etc).
-No tie-in work.  Any work submitted for the project must be entirely stand-alone with a clear beginning, middle and end and not connected to any other work.  If you wish to do a spin-off or a continuation of your story for something else you may do so.
-You can submit your story for additional publication elsewhere, but we ask you wait until the project is released before doing so.
- You must be current with your CAG dues and membership.  If this has lapsed for any reason, be sure to let Sue Soares know why.

ARTISTS:
Any artists interested in doing pin-up illustrations for the stories, let the project coordinator know along with examples or a link to some of your most recent work.  You will be given access to the pitches to decide which story fits your style and interest, and then put in contact with that story's writer to hash out an appropriate image.  Artists will have a month from the date their project choice is finalized to turn in their piece.
 
If a writer already has an artist in mind for their project, let the project coordinator know.  They must be an active member of CAG in good standing (dues current).
 
AGREEMENT:
By joining this project, both writers and artists agree to turn in the materials promised by their declared deadlines.  If there are any reasons why the work either can't be completed or done on time, it is their responsibility to notify the project coordinator in a timely fashion.  Failure to do so will result in an ejection from the project.
 
Send all submissions with your name and contact information, or any additional questions and comments, to Chris Buchner at atomic_comics@hotmail.com
 
Looking forward to working with you.
