WHO ARE YOU?
My name is Dylan Sparks and I am a cartoonist and barista living in White River Junction, Vermont. I've self-published my own comics for years and have a strong enthusiasm for comics production.

WHEN DO SUBMISSIONS CLOSE?
February 1! I know this is a very short period of open submissions, but I WILL have this comic published on Valentine's Day! I have wanted to host my own anthology for so long, and the theme felt perfect, and the timing felt right, and I couldn't allow myself another delay in my publishing dreams. So I'm sorry it is a tight turn around but it is a small comic and I will LOVE reading whatever you share with me:) Thank you<3
