Errant Adventures
Submissions are now open for We Suck At Comics, Volume Three!
We are looking for stories that fit the following theme - Errant Adventures. As always, we are truly excited to see your stories and your take on the theme. You don’t have to be too literal - not every story has to be about being lost on a road trip or wandering aimlessly in the forest, but we do want to know why you feel your piece fits the theme, Errant Adventures! The theme for Volume One was Rejection and the theme for Volume Two was Coloring Outside the Lines and we received some truly interesting pieces for both.
This is a paid project! The payment structure shall be outlined in the acceptance letter.
Errant Adventures: Content Requirements
We like unique stuff. So if your work breaks the panels, breaks down barriers, is experimental or is just plain different, that may fit this volume perfectly! We fully embrace the innovative indie scene in comics. That doesn’t mean you can’t send us superheroes stuff. We like that too, but give us a twist of some kind. We also like seeing stuff from newcomers to comics. Oftentimes those are some of the most interesting pieces!
Imagine that there are no rules, because there probably aren’t (well, besides the aforementioned ones. Fine, you caught us!). We named the company Wayward Raven because we aren’t followers, we like to make our own path. We detest regulations and authority, so help us break out!
