1. Once again, as I will do with every blog, new users should be aware we DO NOT ACCEPT FANART.  Also, please keep in mind the rules for the Featured Folder.  I.E. the Featured Folder is for: Promotional images, first pages or cover pages for long-series comics, or stand-alone comics.  Thank you for your cooperation and remember, when in doubt feel free to send a note to the group.

2. Member would like everyone to be aware his new, upcoming comic.  Let's all show our support~!  Please refer to his journal here for details [link]

COMIC PITCH BLOG


Welcome to Comic Pitch.  Please, take a moment to look around.  We may be small at the moment but we're going to do our best to increase our numbers soon.  We hope to collect a group of dedicated individuals so that together we can inspire and help one another to achieve our goals.

As per the standard of any beginning, perhaps an introduction is in order as well as some general information.

What We're About:
This group is all about people creating comic pitches.  It's a great place to show off your skills to others and get some constructive feedback on sample pages or stories.  By working together we hope everyone can create even better pitches and further increase their chances of publication in this competitive industry.

Why Should YOU Join Us:
In other words, what are the benefits?  Well, perhaps you are an artist in need of a writer or a writer in need of an artist.  You might just find the person you're looking for here then.  Perhaps you aren't sure if your pitch is up to par and ready to compete with all the other excellent entries.  By joining we can collaborate with you and give you critical, but kind, critiques.  Perhaps you have all you need and are 100% ready to pitch a project.  This is a good place to make artistic connections and gain some publicity for your work in case it's published.

To put it shortly is there a reason not to join?  No, no we didn't think so.

How You Can Help the Club:
Being a new club, we are lacking greatly in membership (of course).  We encourage all members to help nurture and make the club grow.  We can't do much if the club stays a tiny seed.  So your mission, should you choose to accept, is to go out and promote the club.  Have friends who are comic pitchers?  Tell them about us.  Active forum user?  Post something about us and make us sound awesome.  Active journal creator?  Graciously give us a small feature so that your watchers will check us out too.

Virtually, just make sure people know about us.  After all, trees can't grow in the shadows.


Closing Statement:
By this time we hope our purpose is clear.  We're dedicated to growing this club and helping everyone get a fair chance to be published.  We promise we'll do our best to accept quality pieces. We'll also aspire to post information about pitches, comic companies, and anything that may help people create the best pitches possible.  Let's all work together and take one step closer to our dreams.

Thank you and please enjoy your time at Comic Pitch~!
