Back to Journal  « Saying No to NaNoWriMo | A Better Comics Submissions Guidelines List | RDU Airport No Longer Encourages Suicide! » A Better Comics Submissions Guidelines List November 3, 2005 "One way you won't break in is if you sit around playing video games all day thinking about how cool it'd be if you did break in."As I was preparing the latest update of my Comics Submission Guidelines for Writers, I noticed that Caleb Monroe's Comic Creator Services page has totally eclipsed mine as far as info and links. Aside from a few choice quotes from creators and from the guidelines themselves (the condiments rather than the mystery meat of the page), there's now nothing my list has to offer that you won't find at Caleb's site. This is a good thing. As I told Caleb when he first contacted me: if only I'd known about his site back in August (he launched his page just before I added mine to this site), I never would have had to dig up all that info in the first place. And now his thoroughness means there's no point in me continuing my version of the guidelines list. From now on, I'm heading to his site when I want updated information. Thanks to those who emailed me with updates and new markets. And thanks especially to Caleb for making my life easier. If you thought my page was a valuable resource, take a gander at all the links he's dug up (and not just for writers). "...if I could do it, anyone can. No two people ever break in the exact same way, though, so it's going to take a little imagination and a lot of persistence." Filed under Comic Stripping, Journal, Peers & Peerless  
Comments: Discuss this entry at LiveJournalBut...but...yours was so good! I don't know if you've done this yet, but you might want to keep the exact URL of your list active. Have it point to a page explaining why you've removed your list and include a link to the new one. Posted by: Michael Burstein at November 4, 2005 6:52 AM 
Thanks, Michael! And already done. Alex. Posted by: Alex at November 4, 2005 7:11 AM
That's for the kind words, Alex! too bad we didn't know about each other in time to save one of us the trouble! ;) I hope people find my page useful, and for any of you that do use it, it is intended to be a constant work in progress, so if you find dead links or comapny guidelines I've missed, please let me know in the comment section of the page. Now let's all go make some comics. Posted by: Caleb at November 4, 2005 1:46 PM
Thanks, Caleb! And keep up the great work. Posted by: Alex at November 7, 2005 11:37 AM
