Digital Image Comics Submissions

I sent a message to Image Comics submissions asking what format is best for them.  This is the response I got:

Thank you for submitting to Image Comics. Due to the extraordinary number of submissions we receive, it is impossible for us to respond to each and every one. We do look at every submission, but in the interest of time, we can only respond to those submissions we are actually considering for publication.

Thanks,

Image Comics

The thing that bothers me is if they can’t take 20 seconds to answer my simple one sentence question how do I know they are going to actually look at my comic book proposal.  I would hate to waste two days putting together a perfect proposal in return not having them read it.  Are image comics submissions looked at?

I better get working on that proposal.

Kickstarter Fail

This was in my inbox from Kickstarter:

Dear Jason Love,

Unfortunately, your project, MADMAN OF MAGIC: Chapter 1 Comic Book, was not successfully funded. Because funding on Kickstarter is all or nothing, all pledges have been automatically canceled.

We understand the hard work that goes into running a project, and we hope it helped to build connections with your community.

Best,
Kickstarter Staff

Secret to Kickstarter, make a plan!

From my white board

This is my basic plan for Kickstarter. The goal is to get the writing done, then the images, and finishing up with the video. The problem is I wanted to get the project launched by April 1st, so while I did an extradited version of this list, I now need to go back through and fill those that I feel need a little more work.

16 Hours into our Kickstarter Campaign

We are 16 hours into our Kickstarter campaign and currently at 5% completion! If we can do this every day Leah Love and I will have full funding in 19 days. Keep your fingers crossed, post on this project on facebook pages, and share it with others; this will help us to that goal. Remember, time is limited, so action needs to happen now!

Thanks again Chris and Josh for getting this party started!

Sincerely,

Jason Love
