COMICS will be considered by Editorial Fellow Robert James Russell starting September 1, 2025. Robert says:

"I’m looking for work that leans into nonfiction and memoir—fragments of memory, moments reimagined, messy truths on the page. Show me life as it is, or as it feels. Bring me the joyful, the painful, the complicated, the contradictory. Comics are such a remarkable medium: words and images colliding, amplifying, contradicting, and opening new ways of seeing. I want to be surprised by how you use that space. Black and white? Color? Minimalist? Maximalist? Something I can’t quite name yet? All welcome. I'm drawn to work that challenges form, thinks big, and lingers in the mind. So, send me comics that risk something—comics that move, unsettle, delight, or reshape how we think about what the form can do."

Submissions should be submitted as PDFs. We will only consider one submission per author at a time (no multiple submissions in different genres, please), and will delete multiple submissions without reading them. Please decide what you’d like us to read most, submit that, and wait for a response before submitting additional work. Submitted work should be previously unpublished in English. Work simultaneously submitted elsewhere will be considered, but we ask that you withdraw the work immediately if it is accepted (and congratulations, by the way).
