/mmg/ - Manga Making GEneral Anonymous 04/18/2025 (Fri) 05:58:12 No. 117
The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work. That said, everyone is welcome here. Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome. Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something). Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

Some western / indie publishers of Manga: Saturday AM ( https://www.saturday-am.com/ ) > Digital indie magazine, seems to be on the up-and-up > Open submissions for long-form series; also distributes series currently being published elsewhere. > Regularly publishes one-shots, making it a good potential outlet for already-finished work. Oni Press ( https://onipress.com/ ) > Technically indie, but at this point large enough by comic standards to be mentioned in the same breath as other publishers. Antarctic Press ( https://antarctic-press.myshopify.com/ ) > Longtime large-indie publisher of OEL / manga-esque books. > Seemingly taking submissions at present if http://www.antarctic-press.com/html/submissions.php is anything to go on. Yen Press ( https://yenpress.com/ ) > Started out as a small indie publisher of original / Korean material, and has grown reasonably popular since. > As of 2016, it is also one of the western arms of the Kadokawa Corporation, with Kadokawa owning a 51% stake. > Editorial inquiries can apparently be sent to yenpress@yenpress.com, however, they apparently are not open to new submissions at this time. Viz Media / Viz Originals ( https://www.viz.com/originals ) > *The* western manga publisher. > Currently in the exploratory stages of setting up an English label. > Submissions are open and several books have been announced. However, progress on the label seems to be moving very slowly. > Still might be worth a shot anyway. Shrine Comics ( https://shrinecomics.com/ ) > Small indie manga publisher > Seemingly attempting to make the transition to physical volumes > Allows crossposting to other sites Iconic Comics (https://www.iconiccomics.com/)) >A bit like Oni Press and Antarctic Press >A small publisher with a focus on indie works with manga inspiration

Other open comic publishers: Dark Horse ( https://www.darkhorse.com ) >Dark Horse still welcomes your submissions, and all submissions will still be reviewed, just as they always have been. >All unsolicited story/series proposals must have a full creative team on board. Writer-only proposals will not be reviewed. Image comics ( https://imagecomics.com/ ) >Image Comics only publishes creator-owned material. They do not contract creators; they’re only interested in publishing original content for which you would retain all rights. >Image Comics publishes creator-owned/creator-generated properties and THEY DON’T PAY PAGE RATES. Image takes a small flat fee off the books published, and it will be the responsibility of the creators to determine the division of the remaining pay between their creative team members. Drawn and quarterly ( https://drawnandquarterly.com/ ) >Please email a low resolution PDF with at least 20 pages of comics and cover letter to submissions. Do not send dropbox links, scripts, or proposals. Please read our submissions FAQ. Fantagraphics ( https://www.fantagraphics.com/ ) >submission page: https://www.fantagraphics.com/pages/faq Top Shelf Productions ( https://www.topshelfcomix.com/ ) >Regarding submissions, we're easy. Just email us a download link of what you'd like us to review. NOTE: We cannot accept cover letters, plot synopses, or scripts unless they are accompanied by a minimum of 10-20 completed pages (i.e., fully inked and lettered comic book pages).
