Attention: this book will only be printed in Italian (unless we reach certain stretch goals during the crowdfunding campaign). We will work on a just as gorgeous digital edition in English.

SUBMISSIONS OPEN UNTIL OCTOBER 3RD



We’re not looking for:

NC-17, graphic content (gore/violence, sex or drugs)

Pin-ups or prose

Settings or characters that are not your IP (fanworks of any kind)

Previously published works

We ARE looking for:

New, fresh takes on A.I., androids, robots, synthetic life.

ANY interesting setting: different historical periods (past or future), space stations, the Earth or other planets. Wherever and whenever your story shines best.

ANY genre: we don’t need hard sci-fi, you could do horror, romance, action, war drama, comedy. Again, whatever fits a good story the best.

Other info:

We need either a single author or a complete creative theme. Please do not submit as a single artist/writer as we will not be able to match you up.

You will need to send through the form linked above a synopsis of your comic, an estimate of how many pages your story will be (from 4 to 16, and it needs to be an even number).

You can submit two different pitches.

You must be 18 or older to submit.

Details:

Finals are due on the 1st of July 2019 with other deadlines for storyboards in January, and for a middle phase + 1 complete page in April.

A crowdfunding to print the book will be launched in late spring/early summer.

Payment

SYNTH/org like all Attaccapanni Press books pays in royalties. We split the net earnings across the book’s story pages, and give out royalties per page to each artist/team, every semester (in December and in June), as long as the book is in print. Across our past titles (we have only been publishing since 2016) the earnings average at $40 per page in a year.

Crowdfunding bonuses are a possibility if we get to certain stretch goals. Every contributor will have a copy of the anthology and one of every piece of merchandise created for the Crowdfunding.

Rights

Contributors cede to Attaccapanni Press first digital rights to the story for six months from date of publication, first worldwide print rights for a year from date of publication, and non-exclusive worldwide print and digital reprint rights in perpetuity. Intellectual property, trademarks, and all non-publishing licensing rights, remain with the creators.

The book will be printed at 16.8 x 24 cm (that is 6.6 x 9.4 inches) - templates are provided.
