Antho-guidelines

For the benefit of those who don’t visit the AMWC thread on SGCAFE regularly and have little info on the submission details for our 2nd anthology, here are the nitty-gritties you need to know:

The anthology is a group effort by everyone (preferably) in the AMWC. We aim to bring together the various talents in the group to consolidate in a nicely printed book that we can sell at events such as Cosfest. Printing costs will of course be shared by everyone who contributes.

We welcome all aspiring writers, mangaka, illustrators to participate. There is no age limit, and you can submit fiction/manga shorts of any genre except for those that has hentai/ecchi/yaoi/yuri overtones or too violent scenes that need to be censored. The keyword is “worksafe“.

In short, we’re looking for WRITERS, MANGAKA (COMIC ARTISTS) AND ILLUSTRATORS.

IF however you have no time to do a manga, we welcome you to join us as illustrators. We intend to illustrate each story in the book so each story will have a picture on the facing page. If you’re interested, simply add your name to the list and the respective editors will get in touch with you. =3

You’ll be assigned a writer who has already submitted a story so you’ll need to discuss what kind of illustration you both would like to have.

Guidelines for Illustrators:

1. Add your name to the list and the respective editors will get in touch with you.
2. Work with your assigned writer to come up with a suitable illustration.
3. Check with your respective editors for your deadline.
