I'm an unpublished writer and I'm at an impasse, and I was hoping someone on this wonderful forum could help me out.
I wrote this script for a comic book (I'm cannot draw), and I don't know how to get it published. It's out-of-this-world good, nothing like it around, & I refuse to put it into the hands of a minor artist. I did an extensive search on the internet, and the only publishing houses I could find that are publishing work somewhat like what I created and hire illustrators like the kind my script demands are DC Comic's Vertigo and maybe idw Publishing.
Problem is, DC Comic's has a nigh-impossible submission policy for newbees (I have to actually take a flight over to one of their 'conventions', where I cannot be even guaranteed that a representative will even look at my script), and idw Publishing hasn't been accepting submissions for over a year.
I've also tried writing directly to my dream illustrator, a man who has worked with Vertigo. He expressed interest in my script's concept, but apparently he can't say yes or no, until I've got a publisher to back him up economically.
So, does anyone have some suggestion on how I can get this script published? Maybe some of you have worked in the comic book industry, and could help?
Thank you
