Ah never mind! Ive read "ARATHAR123's" reply and it all seems abit helpful. Thanks! Onto work!
THIS LOOKS SOOO FUN! I'M GOING FOR IT! Yet...What is the standard size to make a page? The mechanical specification way? Can I do it anyway of my liking I can't find anything!
This looks very much like a good opportunity-- and, hey, at least you're getting some money, right? Regardless, I'm not letting this opportunity slip by me and my friends-- look out, readers of Tokyopop!
I find this kind of thing a pretty good idea for those outside Japanese residents who wish to become Manga-Ka's but, the thing is... it seems to me like Tokyopop lost almost all of its originality. To me it seems like Tokyopop is just choosing the talented ones and throwing away all the other ones that they don't really like. But lets put that aside for right now, let me reply to some other people's comments. KURIMEKEDAKAI, you said that Tokyopop did not reply to your email, but it did say on the submission guidelines that Tokyopop cannot always respond to those who submit, so you can't really get angry at that. Satanwrotethiscontract, you said that you pretty much get paid the same as working in McDonalds, I don't really know how the contract in Tokyopop works but I do agree that if you get less than the average $90 per page for one-shot pilots then it really is a rip off but at least you got published. For the most frequently commented ones, deadlines are made by Tokyopop. For the page size, manga pages do not use letter size 8.5 by 11. Manuscripts are usually done in A4 sizes then printed in B5 sizes if all manga companies use the same method.
i agree with the person below me. i submitted a part of my manga that was i admit completly irrevalnet to the story buti did that becasue ididn't want my storyline or charcters stolen. i sent it in about 8 months ago and i even talked to the presedent of the company john parker via email about it. i left a letter in the evelope asking them if they would please take the tme to aleast send an email that said no, as i have to send it to other publishers. tokyopop has good books but they need to pay more attention to the people who could possibly bring them more buiseness!!!!
You have to be a complete moron if you still plan to submit to this snake in the grass program. Obviously you want to be ripped off, and hand over complete control of your characters and ideas to Tokyopop for the same income you could get flipping burgers at McD's. http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/2008/05/28/tokyopop-hey-dude-totally-bad-contract/
i am trying to print up the submission release agreement, but it goes to something saying the page is no longer there. I've got everything ready to go to send in just need this one last thing.
Kill Julliet said "the mechanical specification said that 9” x 13.375” was the safe zone but regular paper size is 8.5'' X 11''. is it just me or is something wrong with that?" Thats twice the size of the normal guidelines.
is it okay to use your p.o box for your address too?
can you enter the rsom if you enter the manga pilot,already?
Soooo...thats what I got wrong. I kept send my work in the wrong way and didn't sent the entire series symphosis....humm.... well anyway I got the pilot uploaded on manga player. http://tokyopop.com/DDizzle/manga/1781267.html Also soon I'm gonna do a new profile, cuz DDizzle sounds stupid and immature, but I never got around to do a new one. So call me from now on Dd4Rr!3n (pronounced Darrien)
wow Im amazed, I will for sure send my manga!!! but could you please tell us all if there`s a deadline, or if this is something permanent (figures, due long time it takes to create a good piece of manga art). I will be sending you my manga shortly, and I assure you wont be dissapointed
I can't wait to mail my manga!!! It's gonna be soooo freaken awsome!!!! Oh yeah tokyopop, if yo find anything wrong with my manga, please let me know!!! My dream is to be a mangaka,and I need some good critisim. Oh yeah, I don't understand the marketing points.
When is the deadline and how many pilots are they going to choose

Okay just noticed this, the link for the submissions guideline on this page doesn't lead you to the right place, instead, it just says "Oops! Page Not Found." If you are having that problem and don't know where to go to get the submission release agreement and is looking for one, just go to this URL and click on the link there. www.tokyopop.com/Submissions/gopro/286656.html
