Some people are really lucky and get a<br \/>\nmassive book deal straight away, but for the rest of us, it can be<br \/>\nreally tough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">At first, every time we submitted<\/span><br \/>\n to a publisher (and there weren\u2019t many publishers in the mid-90s who<br \/>\ndid what was then called \u201cIndie comics\u201d) they either didn\u2019t reply, or<br \/>\nsent rejections. So we self-published, because we come from a punk \/ DIY<br \/>\n background and were used to seeing zines and fanzines (and had both<br \/>\neven made some and contributed to others while still at school).<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">So, we self-published for about 15 years<\/span>,<br \/>\n gathering momentum, getting nominated for awards, and receiving great<br \/>\nreviews in newspapers and magazines. We still contacted publishers<br \/>\nduring this period, but every time we made a submission, or asked if<br \/>\nthey would publish our Louis graphic novels, we still got either ignored<br \/>\n or rejected. The rejections we were the most gutted by were one from<br \/>\nCasterman (the French publisher of Tintin), who said yes then changed<br \/>\ntheir minds a few months later, and Jonathan Cape who rejected us twice<br \/>\nat either end of a decade (once when we sent Louis books, then later<br \/>\nwith a pitch). But there were many others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Then, 20 years<\/span><br \/>\nafter we first started making comics, a small publisher, Papercutz, in<br \/>\nNew York finally published us. And it didn\u2019t come as a result of a<br \/>\nsubmission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">We had sent a mini-comic<\/span><br \/>\n as a greeting for New Year with a couple of short, grim comic stories,<br \/>\nto industry people we had met before, just to keep in touch (we weren\u2019t<br \/>\nasking for anything). Papercutz got back to us straight away asking if<br \/>\nwe\u2019d like to make a book with them. This was a surprise because,<br \/>\nalthough we had met Terry Nantier on several occasions before, we had<br \/>\nsubmitted to him but only got rejections. We ended up making three books<br \/>\n with Papercutz. So it goes to show that a rejection from one publisher<br \/>\none time isn\u2019t necessary final. It can be about timing or about the<br \/>\nmaterial, or even just taste.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Then the pandemic hit<\/span>,<br \/>\n and the isolation made us think about what we were doing and where we<br \/>\nwere at in our career, and we decided to approach an agent to try to get<br \/>\n a deal with a major publishing house in the UK or US. Graphic novels<br \/>\nwere not yet a thing in the UK so we had our doubts, but could feel that<br \/>\n maybe there was a wind of change in the air. We honed our pitching<br \/>\ntechnique and it took a while and it wasn\u2019t easy, but after a first<br \/>\nround of rejections, we eventually got an agent (we wrote a blog about <a href=\"https:\/\/fegefdf.r.af.d.sendibt2.com\/tr\/cl\/mmcF_hHbT79kchyHOh9cB0vyYtJsDuJHnhOlvmKQGeImpFxIfH8kyRo2zExBuGBEMkJj-8u00_wuHpYTTr0Z7GDy3L-qHFPbC5Q7Koxd1tHh33VVqjyPItbDW6kxIn5q0Hy70h-xGFITZoqXKiJY0uRD6NwMyqfq3pGACthaDE5rhgzkvBRz6OgOKd7W4OBf559doWhxhv9R7CrGKBuw9Vqe79akGFNm1ZjE24wVdoa3gapqoMBbUTvarOlIG9fYOFj07lT9bZMp4WAmB5jvwQ4slZGHY5cI-uUD8FpeGLG4liNOmHbN2NEnsx8F0zItw0xTpgrJbZylD3RUdMmt4Z_CnAytO8-kB9mLhwB7xKsWzHXozgU47KHDPItTNaE-n4gVHv2fR6IxEw8wd5jqFYil9gmgxV0DVAm6szD6VBWIyOQa_M6LqVAD5FxAalorq5sonpe1bdrvA70m-vscZaGq9ycVUDpZg_h2FGCHoD1aH4IoSf8r4-nWewkFLueBAaKJ9C8X6T8EjSWn8t2sTdOVKHv1IA4lcl0qsHwtPFmfVAPmP6nVatSeRToAYMFO\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">how we found an agent here<\/a> if you\u2019d like to learn more).<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Meanwhile, an editor at Harper Collins<\/span><br \/>\n had contacted us out of the blue asking if we\u2019d like to pitch for their<br \/>\n Big Cat imprint for schools. So we pitched and got the deal and ended<br \/>\nup working on two books with Big Cat. And it was about this time that we<br \/>\n signed with United Agents. But a lot of time had gone by since we first<br \/>\n approached them and the pitch we had originally written to find an<br \/>\nagent had lost its appeal to us. Plus, we had a new idea we liked<br \/>\nbetter. Molly Jamieson at United Agents was happy for us to ditch the<br \/>\nfirst pitch and work on the new one. It took us almost a year to refine<br \/>\nthis pitch with editorial input from Molly, at the same time as working<br \/>\non the Big Cat books, but eventually Molly went on submission with it.<br \/>\nWe crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. But all we got were<br \/>\nrejections! Positive rejections, but rejections all the same.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">By then we were so used to rejections<\/span><br \/>\n that we pretty much took it in our stride. But more importantly, before<br \/>\n Molly went on submission, we had a lightning bolt of an idea. In fact<br \/>\nwe have never been so excited about a story idea before. We should say<br \/>\nat this point that we were going through some heavy stuff on a personal<br \/>\nfront. John\u2019s mum was very ill and in and out of hospital, slowly dying<br \/>\nof heart failure. We think it all fed into our new story somehow (you<br \/>\ncan\u2019t help writing about your own life when you write &#8211; although we<br \/>\npromise you this story is super fun and exciting, it&#8217;s just there is a<br \/>\nbit of darkness lurking in it too) and that it was an escape from it too<br \/>\n in some ways. So we worked on the pitch, the whole thing took shape<br \/>\nvery quickly, with editorial input from Molly, and only four months<br \/>\nafter having the initial idea, the pitch was ready to go on submission.<br \/>\nIt only took a couple weeks to learn the result. We remember vividly it<br \/>\nwas World Book Day and we were lunching out after an author visit, and<br \/>\nthere was an email from Molly with a publisher\u2019s interest. They loved<br \/>\nit, but wondered if we could change the age of our main character.<br \/>\nInspiration struck straight away and a couple of days later we sent our<br \/>\nrevised character design, which we liked better than the first one.<br \/>\nThen, a few weeks later, the email \u201cOffer in\u201d came in and we jumped for<br \/>\njoy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">So this resulted in a two book deal\u00a0with Scholastic<\/span>,<br \/>\n which was announced just two weeks ago: Wilomina \u2013 The Land of Dreams<br \/>\nand Nightmares. But we actually signed with them a year ago. We had to<br \/>\nkeep it all a secret this whole time until they announced it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">We\u2019d been so used to a rough ride that we never<br \/>\nwould have thought we\u2019d end up with United Agents representing us, and<br \/>\nScholastic taking us on. In fact, when we made our wish list of<br \/>\npublishers to submit to Molly, Scholastic was near the bottom because,<br \/>\neven though they were our dream publisher, we thought they would never<br \/>\ngo for us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">SO, yeah,<\/span> we<br \/>\nstarted making comics 30 years ago. \u201cAn overnight success,&#8221; some people<br \/>\ncommented jokingly (in a nice way) on our socials. Everyone\u2019s experience<br \/>\n is different, and the path to getting published can be a tough one for<br \/>\nmany people. We\u2019ve read other people\u2019s experience of it over the years,<br \/>\nand a similar story is there for many: that of perseverance, hard work,<br \/>\nan open mind, dedication, some luck, and a bit of talent. If you keeping<br \/>\n doing all of that, you might end up getting somewhere. Or not. The one<br \/>\ncertain thing in the arts is that there is no certainty.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it hard to get a publisher?
