Submissions on any topic or from any genre are welcomed, as the comic aims to have a diverse range of stories suitable for a teenage audience upwards. However, all stories must have a female main character. Strips should be self-contained stories between one and seven pages in length. We are also looking for guest strips by other webcomic or small press comic creators. For an idea of the kind of strips we publish, please see our extensive online archive: http://factorfictionpress.co.uk/webcomic/category/comics/
We are looking for original work, so please do not submit any strips involving characters that are the copyright of another creator or company.

As we make no profit from The Girly Comic I’m afraid we are unable to pay creators. However, we will do our utmost to promote the creators we work with, and hopefully help to bring them to the attention of paying publications.
Work submitted remains the copyright of the original creators, with The Girly Comic having first electronic publication rights and the right to reprint the strip in any future printed or ebook collections of the comic.
