Bring Your Graphic Novel to Life Through Self-Publishing

What makes a great graphic novel?

When creating your graphic novel or manga, it’s important to be a strategic risk-taker. Create something that’s unlike any other book on the market. Writers write what they know, and your perspective is entirely your own. So, be original with your content. Create characters that readers will never forget. However, be strategic with your form. Colors, spacing, font sizes, borders, gutters, line art, and any other artistic elements, should be purposefully implemented to ensure that the soul of your graphic novel fits its body.

We’ll work closely with you to ensure that your graphic novel is the perfect balance of structure and creative expression. Our team of Publishing Specialists also will help you choose the most effective time to release your book so that the timing is right to maximize sales.

How to self-publish and distribute your graphic novel

Creating a graphic novel is enough work. Between writing, illustrating, and strategizing to make language and art coexist, you have your hands full. So why not make the self-publishing process easy? Graphic novels that are 6” x 9” or 8.5” x 11” are eligible for our Print On Demand (POD) program. When someone orders your book, it gets shipped directly to them. There’s no need to worry about print runs or inventory! We take complete care of the book distribution. Learn more
