SOLRAD, the online literary magazine for comics, publishes original content ranging from comics criticism, original comics, essays, interviews, and the promotion of small-press events and releases. The site is a platform for new, underrepresented, and otherwise marginalized creative voices, in addition to commissioning work from well-established cartoonists, critics, journalists, and authors.

We are currently open to submissions and pitches. 
Please read the guidelines below.

SOLRAD focuses on comics arts outside the mainstream genre comic. We strongly encourage you to read the last few pieces from SOLRAD to see what kind of books we tend to cover before considering pitching us.

All pitches and submissions must be in English and must be previously unpublished. Pitch/submission emails should be sent to pitch@solrad.co. We accept work in long-form narrative and in comics form. All published writing has a minimum length of 1,000 words. The editing process will occur through Google Docs (shared with editor@solrad.co). We do not accept simultaneous submissions.

SOLRAD encourages pitches and submissions from writers of color and LGBTQ+ writers.

SOLRAD recognizes the right of media workers to obtain a living wage – our current pay rates represent an honorarium with the goal of moving towards a higher rate of pay over the life of the magazine.
