Yen Press -- Manga Talent Search

With the lack of TokyoPop's "Rising Stars of Manga," Yen Press, an online serialized magazine is hosting what they call a talent search. Although to me it sounds more like a casting call for open auditions. They say there will be no "winners" however one, some, or none may be chosen for a publishing deal.

Information can be found on there website Here

The deadline is set for January 3rd, 2011. I am pretty excited about this. I need to dish out about 18 more pages and I'll be ready to go. I just finished up on all the touch-ups for everything I have had done so far.

The tough part is going to be that they want a 32 page submission. Well, getting 32 pages will not be hard. What will be hard is closing my story up within those 32 pages so it has a decent ending, but not actually ending the series. I think I have it figured out. Last night I re-worked my plot and created a nice detailed time-line. I think I know right where to end it, and if all goes well, it will leave them wanting more, because it'll end on a huge cliffhanger, but still give a sense of closure.

 


Oh yes, here is page 13.
