My goal with this video and channel is to help independent comic creators and filmmakers learn the business basics behind the world of entertainment.

This would have been very helpful for me last year.
There's always next year lol
Very helpful! Im putting together my first pitch its been a learning process for sure
Awesome! Yeah took my a while to learn lol. Thank you. If you want to see an actual pitch I’ve sent to publishers, I give it away to people who subscribe to my email newsletter on hovencrow.com
I would definitely love to see your pitches, I have tried pitching in the past with only character designs and story synopsis. But that didn't work, I think most publishers want an almost finished book or series, which really defeats the purpose of working with a publisher in my opinion. I get a larger publisher has a larger fan base but I would perfer working with a publisher who actually likes to work more closely with thecreative and help out more with the creative side.
Yeah I feel you. Publishers will back projects in advance, but since it’s an investment on their end, they’ll only work with teams that they trust, so they need to have worked with somebody in the past at least. Or the creative team needs to be well established. Otherwise, they expect the team to have a finished product, proving they have skin and the game.
Awesome came out just in time when I was ready for supporting to. Darkhorse
Perfect. Just fyi, Dark Horse is one of the few publishers that doesn’t usually respond back unless they’re interested. I’ve submitted to them in the past and they never sent a rejection letter.

Thank you!
How long does it take for a publisher to look through it all and give feedback?
A month or longer?
I think on average about 2-4 weeks unless they specify otherwise. Some will send a response very quickly in which they confirm the submission was received and they’ll give you a timeline to review. Others you just have to wait, but more than like 5 weeks usually means they’re not interested.
What publishers accept unsolicited submissions? Do any accept them without artwork?
There are a lot that accept unsolicited submissions but very few accept pitches without artwork. In fact I think I made a video on this topic, but I'm working on a new better updated video on the topic. If you join my email list or order my online course I give away a huge archive of comic publishers by category. czcams.com/video/Pf85kRlFttY/video.html www.hovencrow.com
