COSMIC is releasing our first zine, and we want talented contributors like you involved.

We'll be taking pitches in two categories, both to be released in a Winter 2025 zine.

TORCHBEARER: Big worlds, big ideas. The bold, ambitious, high concept projects (or voices) that light the way.

Pitches can be in the following categories:

1. Original short graphic novel pitches (think 5-10 pages)
2. Funnies comic strips (think 1-3 pages)
3. Excerpts from published or pre-published graphic novels
4. Excerpts from webcomics
5. Features/interviews focusing on exceptional talent
6. Features focusing on exceptional media - what have you been watching or playing lately?
7. Standalone illustrations
8. Graphic novel design/formatting pitches

What happens if you get selected?

• You'll work with our editors to develop your pitch
• You'll join a discord with all the other contributors
• You'll have the opportunity to attend workshops and parcipate in podcast interviews
• All project copyright will remain with you! All we ask for is non-exclusive publishing rights
• You'll get a contributors share in anything the zine earns
• A percentage of profits will go to a charity of the contributors' choice
