New British publisher Acrasia seeks comic creators

By John Freeman on June 15, 2011

Acrasia Works, an independent British publishing house is looking for new talent.

The Canterbury-based company says it is committed to producing beautiful graphic novels and one-shot comic books for international sale.

They say they are currently accepting submissions from writers, artists, inkers, colourists, and letterers.

Acrasia are accepting portfolio links and samples from artists, both digital and traditional. They say they have an extremely high standard and art must be at a professional level with exceptional personal style and ability.

You do not necessarily need to have had experience with sequential art, but if that is the case, you may be required to complete a few test pages from a script.

Email low res submissions to acrasiaworks@hotmail.com, or links to online portfolios. They do not accept artists’ submissions by post. (Which might prove hard, anyway, as the company does not list an address on their web site…)
