Call for all independent graphic novelists. I'm looking to publish a compilation

Bulletin:

Hey all,

(This is just a repost from something I put up a few days ago. Apologies to all who have already seen it. The first posting received such a good response though, I wanted to keep trying to spread the word).

My name is Jon and I am an associate editor for a New York based publisher called Mark Batty Publisher (www.markbattypublisher.com). We do a lot of books on visual culture and visual communication, and we are looking to publish our first graphic novel.

I am heading up the project and am really interested in receiving submissions by amateur artists (and by that, I just mean people who have yet to be widely published and who have never been published for a significant amount of money) who have either short graphic novels, works in progress, or even writers (with a manuscript) who haven't yet teamed up with an artist, and artists (with a collection they are looking to turn into a graphic novel) who haven't teamed up with a writer.

My idea is to find four shorter graphic novels, all from different artistic angles, and compile them. I am looking for work that is outside of the box, preferably non-superhero (but if the work is really amazing, superhero work is fine), and highly visual.

If any of you are interested in this, please email me or befriend me (I am new to the site, and I gladly welcome any befriendings). Also, please check out the MBP website (again, www.markbattypublisher.com), so that you can see what type of books we do and how committed we are to visual excellence.

I hope this finds all of you well. And I hope many of you are interested in this project. Please get in touch with me.

All best,
Jon
