If anyone on my friends list is interested??? :D
Stacked Deck Press is looking for more artists to join in their upcoming anthology We’re Still Here, a new anthology the company hopes will showcase a diverse roster of trans illustrators.
“We’re hoping to include a whole bunch of contributions by as-yet-unknown trans cartoonists, as well as to promote wider awareness of those already working at a relatively high professional level,” Jeanne Thornton, who is co-editing the project with trans creator Tara Avery, told Newsarama. “I think this is a significant project for indie comics, and for comics in general.”
A number of artists have already been confirmed for We’re Still Here, including Dylan Edwards (Transposes), Sophie Labelle (Assigned Male), Knave Murdok (TransCat), Morgan Sea (Misgendered!), and Christine Smith (Eve’s Apple) [and Melanie Gillman (As The Crow Flies) and Annie Mok (Swim Through Fire)].
Our goal is to present work 100 percent conceived and executed by trans artists, showcasing the breadth of themes, genres, and approaches trans people are taking to comics work today. And if you’re a trans person who makes comics (or would like to), we’re definitely interested in seeing what you’ve got to offer.
A few important specs for submission:
SDP is looking for 1-8 page stories that have not been published anywhere else (it’s not clear whether they count online and/or self publishing), open to any genre/topic. Payment starts at $20 per page, which is low, but has pay raises built into an upcoming Kickstarter. Pages are 6″x7″, full-color, 300 dpi files. Trans creators only, and “Trans creators of color to the front of the line.” What you need to submit toe
