ParaVox is Tusen Serier’s anti-racist anthology magazine with international comics creators. You are welcome to send us comics and/or texts. Check our blog to find our latest call for submissions with theme description etc.
And these are the things to take into consideration when you send us your files:

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES for ParaVox

Check our statement of purpose for a general idea of what we’re looking for, but don’t feel too locked by it.
And check the theme descriptions of our current call for submissions.

COMICS
Number of pages: We prefer comics that are about 1-12 pages, but any number is welcome.
Format: 19 x 27 cm
Color: Color / Black and white
Language: English or Swedish
File format: .TIF
Resolution: 1200 dpi line art or 300 dpi CMYK (profile: PSO coated V3, or you can send it in RGB and we’ll convert it)
Bleed: 5mm. If you’re not completely sure how to handle bleed, check this guide from our friends at CBA to make sure you know what we mean.

TEXT ARTICLES
We will also publish a small number of text articles, and will consider anything that fits into the theme.
Length: A good size for a text is ca 7500 characters (including spaces), but it can also be longer or shorter.

Questions? If anything is unclear when you’re preparing your files (format, resolution, bleed, etc), feel free to ask us! Stupid questions are always better than bad files (and there are no stupid questions)!
Delivery: We prefer download links that do NOT require us to login anywhere (or download links from your domain, etc).
Please send us high-resolution files from the start. This saves time and our deadlines will often be pretty tight.
Include a short bio, with one URL (if you have a website, social media etc). Length: 500-700 characters. Write in 3rd person. Should be more entertaining/informative bio, rather than boring CV. Let us know if you for some reason want to be anonymous and have a preferred pseudonym.

Exhibition permission: We will probably organize exhibitions showcasing sample pages. Please let us know if you’re NOT ok with us using your works for that purpose. If you don’t say otherwise, we will assume that it’s ok.
Policy on generative AI: We do not accept submissions that are created using generative AI.
Payment:To be upfront, we can’t normally promise more than a small symbolic sum, if even that, since we’re a non-profit organisation that is dependent on public funding.  When the budget period is finished and our expenses have been summed up, whatever’s left in the budget will be shared among all participants. This means that we can’t know in advance how much we’ll be able to pay during any given year. We hope for your understanding and that your inclusion in ParaVox will be a pleasant experience in all other ways.
Artist copies: If we publish your submission you will receive 5 free copies of the issue.
Copyright: Naturally, copyright for your material will stay in your hands. We don’t demand exclusivity, but feel free to let us know if your comic is also published somewhere else.

Send comics, questions, etc to: submissions(a)tusenserier(.)org
We will do our best to reply to all submissions. If yours is selected, we will definitely let you know.

We look forward to seeing what you send us!
