Apply to be a Founding Creator

New Canon is a curated home for indie comics and manga. We're hand-picking our first group of creators, and we'd love to see your work.

What Founding Creators get

You own everything. Your characters, story, and art stay yours. Leave anytime and take it all with you.
No fees to start. Founding Creators post free until reader memberships launch, then for 3 more months.
Featured at launch. Founding Creators are front and center when readers arrive.

After that, Starter creators pay $15 a month, and we email you before any charge. We'll explain everything before you decide to join.

Tell us about your series and upload a few finished pages.
We'll email you a confirmation with a short account-check code.
We review every application by hand. Before approving yours, we'll ask you to prove the work is yours, using that code or a message from a social account you list.

You must be 18 or older to apply. Questions? Write to [email protected].
