Are you a comic creator living in Scotland? Submit your comic to be part of the Scottish Comics Itch Bundle!

How does it work?
All the comics will be part of a big downloadable bundle for sale on itch.io. 25% of profits will be given to PCRF or another charity supporting Palestine. The remaining profits will be split equally between all participants. Your cut is sent to your account automatically; it doesn't come through the organisers at all.

Who can take part?
Any comic creators who live in Scotland! If you live in Scotland but you aren't Scottish, you can still take part. If you are Scottish but you don't live in Scotland, you can't take part.

What should I submit?
Submit your favourite comic that you've done! You can only submit one comic. Please do not submit text-only zines.

Is this bundle curated?
This bundle is only lightly curated, which means we're checking for racist, transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, or otherwise hateful content. We want to celebrate as many comic creators in Scotland as we can, so this bundle is not otherwise curated and your submission will only be rejected if the file quality
is unusually low.

What is the timeline?
Submissions are open until March 31st. If your comic is approved, you will hear back by April 30th. The bundle will go live in June!

I have another question.
This bundle is organised by Letty, Pj, and Eve. Email us or reply to this post (no DMs please!).
