Starting now, creators can build a worldwide following and profit from their work through a portal called comiXology Submit.
Independent creators simply upload their comic book and graphic novels for approval at no cost.
ComiXology does the rest, from transforming the work with comiXology’s Guided View reading technology, to making it available on comiXology’s buy once, read anywhere digital comics platform, which includes an iTunes top 10-grossing iPad app, iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire and Windows 8 apps, and a web store and reader at www.comixology.com.
