Cellar Door Publishing specializes in the publication of high-quality illustrated literature and graphic novels. We are looking for all genres and age groups. We encourage creators to experiment with format and content, though it is not required. We do accept a limited number of submissions for books without illustrations. This is generally reserved for books that are either unique in content or controversial in nature, or literary projects that can be released in a serialized format.

We currently accept unsolicited submissions via online submission form and comic book conventions only. We no longer accept unsolicited submissions through traditional mail.

To submit book proposals for consideration, please use the online submission form located here.


If your project is not completed, be sure to include information on the estimated time for completion. Also, your project need not have an artist attached at the time of submission, though having located an artist beforehand will speed up the publication process. If applicable, we highly recommend that you provide external web links to proposal artwork in the Book Description section of the submission form.

We attempt to respond to all submissions, but, due to the large amount of submissions we receive, we cannot guarantee you will receive a response.

Thank you for your interest in Cellar Door Publishing and good luck!
