Please structure your inquiries as a pitch — which topic you would like to write about, why you think that subject is a good fit for tcj.com’s comics-first, creator-first mission, and what personal or professional insight you can bring to the project. Due to the volume of submissions, the Editors will be unable to offer a personal response to all inquires.

COMMENTS POLICY
1. Comments which include ad hominem or abusive attacks on writers, commenters, or figures featured on the site may be deleted.
2. Comments which are deemed racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive may be deleted.
3. Comments which stray too far from the topic at hand (especially when of a promotional nature) have a very good chance of being deleted. If you want to share a link, send it to one or both of the editors, and maybe we’ll post it. Otherwise, it better have something to do with the post or resulting discussion.
4. Comments designed to start or prolong unnecessary, unpleasant, and/or just plain ugly arguments (i.e., trolling) will be deleted.
5. Commenters who repeatedly post comments that are deemed abusive in one of these ways will be warned via email. If they continue to post comments of an unwelcome nature, they will be given a week’s suspension. If a third warning is necessary, the commenter in question will be banned pending further review.
That’s it for now, though we reserve the right to add new rules if and when they become necessary. Remember, debate and discussion are welcome, but is important that these arguments stay civil.
