Mark Millar Talent Search

Want to work in comics? Well Mark Millar and his Millarworld is having a competition that may make your dream a reality. It's artists to start off but they're opening it up for writers too.

@batkevin74: Yeesh- they want full script. I'll have to brush up on (that is: learn) script format.

Ah...I read non-profit comic. That might sift out some serious competition. A lot of fanfic writers will show up though, lol

@boschepg: The comic's not for profit but the winners work is paid

@cbishop:Same but it's at the very least good practice

It begins...

I really want to enter this, however I really only know how to write Sci-Fi, does Chrononauts fit that? Do I have to use pre-existing characters or can I kinda diverge from the main focus? Ugg maybe I'm not cut out for this >:(

@jkutz: Go to the site, check out the options

@batkevin74: I did, might try a Chrononauts story, need to get my hands on the first book to get a feel for the vibe.

@jkutz: I actually read the first Chrononauts TPB last week. It's time travel gone purposely wrong- VERY sci-fi. :)

Ah dang. Temptation. However too busy with College and such. Maybe next year. Also not realy in the zone for this sort of thing right now.

:)

Good luck to anyone else who enters.

The thread is active. Here are some things worth reading, concerning the contest:

Millarworld Annual - Writer Submission Guidelines! - This one is pretty much hype, but when doing this kind of thing, read everything.

My Pro-Tips for Writers entering our Talent Search - Millar gives a script of the first three pages of "Huck" as an example of what they are looking for... and it's easy!

Millarworld Annual SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS - Follow them to the letter or they won't even look at your submission.

They've already had thousands of inquiries, but there are only SIX slots, so if you're going to do it, do it right! Sounds like fun. -cb
