We are happy to add new artisan's to our roster. High quality artist's can submit their works for publishing consideration.
Alchemist Publishing and Alchemist Studio Firenze, Italy accepts artist's submissions for publishing. So, if you have an idea for a project that you would like to see get both digital and print distribution drop us a line at info@alchemistublishing.com.
Alchemist Publishing accepts unsolicited submissions by mail and email. Please follow these guidelines when you send in a proposal.
1) Reviewing projects.
We do not accept scripts for projects without artwork, art samples or divination samples. If you are only a writer or only an artist and will eventually need either a writer or artist to complete your work, you will need to do that before submitting your project.
2) Always include a self-addressed stamped envelope with your submission or your email address.
While we will contact you via phone or email if we are interested in publishing your work, we will not pay postage to send you a rejection letter, or send your work back to you. If you want to receive a reply, include a SASE. If you want your submission returned, be sure to not only include sufficient postage, but an envelope large enough to hold your materials.
3) Submissions include a cover letter that clearly explains your project.
Do you envision a series or graphic novel? We need to know what you want to do, and what you want us to do.
4) How many submissions have you made to publishers?
We need to know if you have submitted this book to other publishers. If we contact you about publishing the book, and you are also talking with other publishers about it, it is a matter of professional courtesy to let us know. If you have already signed with another publisher, also let us know. We do not "bid" for projects. We have a standard contract we use with all our creators, and they all receive the same terms. We will not begin discussing business with anyone until we are sure we are the publisher that the creator wants to work with.
5) Include the following:
* Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE) if you do not include an email address for reply.
* A cover letter
* A synopsis of no more than five double-spaced pages outlining your story, series, project and include how it ends.
* Character descriptions
* At least five pages and or images of finished penciled, inked, colored, lettered
* A list of possible titles
Do not do these things when submitting to us:
1) Do not refer us to your website.
2) Do not send original art.
This means do not send your actual artwork — the piece of paper you drew on, the one-of-a-kind that you can’t replace.
3) Do not include postcards, stickers or other promotional material in your submission.
4) Do not send your submission by registered or certified mail.
5) If you receive your rejection letter through email, please do not reply asking for clarification or defending your work.
6) Please do not call the office to check on the status of your submission.
If it has been more than six months since you submitted, you may contact us to check on its status.
Once you have your proposal together and ready to send, you should keep a few points in mind:
We try our best to read submissions in a timely manner but please be patient.
If you are not accepted
Please keep in mind that when we review your work — we’re not making value judgments about you as a person — we’re merely reviewing a possible project.
We do NOT discuss contracts and business terms prior to evaluating your project.
First submit your proposal. If we like it, we’ll start talking business. But in brief: all books published by SLG are creator-owned — that is they remain the property of the creator. We do not pay advances or page rates; all creators are paid a royalty — a percentage based upon the number of copies sold. The terms of our contracts are confidential and between ourselves and our creators. Do not call or email to find out how much you would be paid or would make if we publish your book.
