PUBLISHING AND CREATOR PARTNERSHIPS
Whether you have drawn your first comic, finished a graphic novel, made a children’s book, or want to talk about a publishing partnership, start with the path that matches your project. Each path has different review steps and rights considerations.
Joining the team is a different path from publishing. See volunteering, careers and internships.
| Path | What it is | What it is not |
|---|---|---|
| Community submission | Sharing work for review and display | A publishing or royalty agreement |
| Publishing proposal | A request to discuss a partnership | An automatic offer |
| Catalogue suggestion | A factual listing of a work | Permission to reproduce it, or an endorsement |
| Licensing inquiry | A request for rights to a Muslim Manga-owned work | A blanket permission |
| Retail partnership | Stocking eligible products | A guarantee of availability or price |
We create original stories, support a community of visual storytellers, and keep a discovery catalogue of works from many publishers. Being listed in our catalogue does not mean Muslim Manga publishes, owns, sells, or has permission to reproduce that title.
A clear concept, the intended readers and age range, sample pages or an existing edition, creator and rights-holder details, original language and translations, publishing history, and a realistic description of the collaboration you want. We may ask follow-up questions, and sending a proposal does not guarantee an offer.
Creators keep their existing rights unless they sign a separate written agreement that says otherwise. Do not send confidential full manuscripts or unpublished high-resolution files until a secure review method is agreed, and do not submit material you do not have the authority to share. All commercial terms need a written agreement reviewed by the parties.
Will you publish everything submitted? No. Each path has its own review and capacity limits.
Does submitting transfer copyright? No. Sending an inquiry transfers nothing, and any publishing license needs separate written terms.
Can you print my book? Print and distribution options depend on the project and an agreed arrangement. There is no automatic print commitment.
Can I suggest another publisher’s book? Yes, for the catalogue. Please do not upload unauthorized scans or cover files.
Do you sell every title in your catalogue? No. Many are third-party discovery records only.
