If you would like Warpton to consider you as a potential writer, please read the following guidelines:

We are looking for three main things in all samples:

1. Your ability to tell a story.
2. Your ability to tell a story through images and words.
3. The style of your writing.

Comic books are a storytelling medium. Samples should demonstrate your ability to tell a story in a sequence of pictures. How you lay out the script and the amount of detail you give will create the look to the story.

You should provide the following:

A half page synopsis - telling the story.
The script to the story/issue etc.
Anything else that you think we should know.

When writing your synopsis, consider the following things:

What is your goal? - To make the reader want to ask more about the story, but also to understand the idea, theme and style of the comic.

Do not underestimate the importance of a good synopsis. This is the first introduction to the story, characters, situations, conflicts, and resolution. These are the crucial components that need to come out in the outline.

Stylistic Requirements

Comic-book writing is about telling a story in pictures, with words supplementing the visual storytelling. No matter what genre you want to work in, comic books convey, through pictures and words, action, movement, and urgency; a sense of drama and grandeur and "larger than life" excitement.

Important Reminders
* Always send photocopies; never send originals!
* Include your contact details
* Always include a self-addressed stamped envelope with your submission, with sufficient postage or international reply coupon for a reply or the return of your copies (if you want them back).
