At Robot Comics we are actively looking for original mobile comics to publish, or key existing titles to introduce to mobiles audiences. We can either offer these comics for free or for a price, in which case we take a percentage of profits. In all cases, creators retain full ownership of the comics we publish.

Content policy

Our content policy combines the content policies of our distribution channels. In particular, submissions must not contain any of the following:

• Illegal content
• Invasions of personal privacy or violations of the right of publicity
• Promotions of hate or incitement of violence
• Violations of intellectual property rights, including patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary right of any party
• Cilantro
• Pornography, obscenity, nudity, or sexual activity

Minimum requirements

Submissions should be of the same or better quality than any of our existing titles. The comics that meet the following criteria are more likely to be accepted:

• Is an original mobile comic
• Has an existing large audience
• Makes use of the possibilities of mobile devices
• Is Creative Commons
• Includes a subtle reference to Atlas Shrugged
• Is full-color or only uses black&white because it serves the story

Please bear in mind that most submissions of print comics are rejected. That does not mean that we only publish comics that are exclusively for mobiles. See this example of a print comic that was carefully adapted for mobiles by its creator.

Proposals

A proposal should contain:

• For original mobile comics: 20 finished (colored and lettered if applicable) sequential screens of your comic, including the cover screen, as zipped PNG files.
• For existing comics: a PDF or ZIP file of the first installment.
• A short paragraph describing what your comic is about and why you think we should publish it.
• A brief biography of each creator.
• The funniest joke you know. This is to entertain our submission editor, but also to confirm that you read these guidelines.

Do not send:

• Scripts
• Complete story synopsis
• Any other material that was not solicited

If you do not include exactly what we asked, do not expect a reply.

If you are new to mobile comics and do not own a mobile device, we recommend checking our comic book trailers first to get a better idea of how a mobile comic looks. If you do own a mobile device, please download our free comics to get a better idea of what we do.

Send your proposal by email to submissions@robotcomics.net. Do not enclose the ZIP file; host it in your server or in a free hosting service, and send us a link instead.

We try to answer to every submission. Sadly, we are not in fact robots, so we can miss a submission every once in a while. If you do not get a reply after a month, feel free to resubmit.
