Create with us!

We are an independent Indian publishing company looking to bring out

long-form comics across genres, subject matter and styles, for a diverse and discerning reading audience.

We want to work collaboratively with authors to develop fresh and unique work that will be a pleasure to read.

The Submissions Process

The creative vision of authors will be the driving force of the work we publish — and creators will always own the copyright of their work — but an editor will serve as a necessary guide and coach. 

If you have an idea, pitch it to us. We’ll give you a frank opinion on it.

We welcome pitches from solo writer-artists (those who both write and draw) or writer-artist teams. ​

​​

(If you are a writer seeking an artist collaborator or an artist seeking a writer, please instead fill out this form and we'll be in touch.) 

 

Your pitch should contain:

1. a one-paragraph (three or four sentences) summary of the most important facets of your story, namely

​​

  • a brief description of the plot (“terrorized by bandits, a remote village hires mercenaries to protect them”)

  • a brief description of the style/tone (“an action adventure, but also a study of heroism”)

  • the length of the finished work (in pages)

  • the intended audience

 
2. at least one piece of sample artwork. This doesn’t have to be for the story being pitched, or in comics, but it would be great if it was.

3. at least one piece of sample writing. Again, the sample doesn’t have to be related to the pitch, or in comics, but it would be great if it was.​​

Please email us your pitches

A successful pitch will lead to the crafting of a proposal/book plan.


A successful proposal will lead to a signing — a contractual agreement — and the creation of a publishing plan.
