Submissions Policy

Hello! And welcome to the Cambrian Comics submission page!

There are two things we want to share with you here.

First, yes this is a real opportunity and a real submissions page. We spent most of our early comic book career struggling to find someone who could help us get our work out to a wider audience, and we want to help other people launch their comic book careers and promote their work.

Second, we are not actually accepting submissions until March of 2026.

The reason why is because we want to give creators a chance to produce and create their best work, which takes time.

Feel free to scroll down and check out an overview of what we're looking for and more importantly what we're NOT looking for.

Good luck and happy creating!

What we're looking for:

COMPLETED works in the following formats:
- One shot comics (20-34 pages)
- Short graphic novels (36-64 pages)
- 4 issue mini series (20-34 pages each)
- PLEASE NOTE: When we say completed, we mean that the book is drawn, colored, lettered, and ready to print.
- We are not picky about genre or subject matter with two exceptions that we discuss below. We welcome all kinds of comics from sci-fi, to romance, to superhero stories.
All work must be creator owned by the people submitting their stories.
All creators involved must be over the age of 18.
All submissions must be in English.

What we're NOT looking for:

Works that are based on existing Intellectual Property and are not creator owned. Characters in the public domain are welcome.
A.I generated writing and/or artwork.
Any story that EXCLUSIVELY portrays an excessive or explicit sexual act.
- PLEASE NOTE: Discussions of sex and sexuality are permitted and welcome, and we will look at stories that incorporate sex scenes into the plot. However, if the SOLE PURPOSE of your story is to portray a graphic sexual act, we will reject it.
- We reserve the right to request small aesthetic changes to writing and art if we believe they are necessary, although we intend to be as hands off as possible.
Any story whose SOLE PURPOSE is to promote and/or glorify the following: racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or any form of bigotry.
- PLEASE NOTE: We understand that sometimes a story calls for an antagonist who is a complete bastard, or that a character can hold some uncomfortable viewpoints, but if we believe that the creative team is using their story to portray any of the above as a good thing, we will reject the story.

That's all for now!

We intend to add more things in the future such as a list of resources for anyone who wants to make a comic but doesn't know where to start, and more details on how we intend to work with creators to publish and promote their books.

In the meantime, the best way to keep up with what we're doing and what's going on is to sign up for our bi weekly newsletter here and to keep checking in.

Thank you so much for checking us out and we cannot WAIT to see what amazing comics you come up with!
