Woah, all this sounds cool. Good luck to everyone piching to premium! I'll may think about doing something like this one day.

Hi there, I'm a comic artist fairly new to Tapas, and am a lot more active in Webtoons than here. Sorry about asking on this Novel thread, but I just had to ask:

  1. Is there a Tapas Premium for comic creators too?
  2. What are the requirements for comic creators to get into Tapas Premium?
  3. Does the comic have to be exclusive to Tapas or can I still post on Webtoons?

You see, my comic The Remarkable Rabbit Boy has been doing decently well in Webtoons, having gotten almost 200k reads in 3 months and having gotten to the top of the Canvas rankings for the Superhero genre there a couple of times. But I really don't earn much of anything on there other than Patreon. I was just wondering if there was a page I could go to, or someone from Tapas I could ask about it for more info. I didn't know where to look in the main site. I have a Tapas account too, but I haven't really updated it since the first episode.

Thanks for your time!

I wanna say each deal is different but I dont really know and dont want to give you the wrong information.

From the main page if you go to discover and then help you can search premium as well as other information I provided a link to the guidelines. I hope that helps.

Hi, is there a reason why comics have a subscriber count minimum and novels do not?

I have a manuscrit of 134k words but on my mother language. I'm translting to english right now... I should wait until i have 80k words translated before submmiting? :confused:

I realize there hasn't been any talk of maximums. I feel like I should have asked this before thinking about pitching my story, but is there a max we shouldn't go over for word count? I have about 200,000 words fantasy romance but I don't know if Tapas is in favour of those long of stories ^^'''

I pitched something that's 187k so far and will be twice that length once finished and it was accepted~

The completed novels run far shorter than comics if they are ready to go. So if you post the minimal required word count novel of 80K in daily installments for the best chance to stay in Fresh, you have 80 days run. Even if it is an awesome novel, it is not going to pick up a lot of subs in that span, particularly on a site where the novels is a nice side-line.

What Domisotto said was correct.
They used to have a 300 sub minimum for novels.(If I'm remembering the amount correctly) By the time I'd get my subs, my stories were around 80k and pretty much finished. There were many more stories that others finished (and never received 300 subs) that I thought were far superior to my own work.
Also, I would think that there is much more competition for the premium slots for comics than for stories, but that's just my own conjecture.

Hi, all! To catch up on a few questions:

@arayakim I see someone was kind enough to share the comics guidelines (thanks, @Aykay!). To answer your question about exclusivity, we're happy to work with creators on either an exclusive or non-exclusive basis.

@neardrive Yes, I'd recommend waiting until you hit 80k in English.

@RosesnWater At the moment, it's the more the merrier. Let me read all your words!!

Keep the questions (and submissions!) coming :grin:

heh, number obsessed me: darn, I am 2 short!!! even though it doesn't exist. Smthng... can someone please vacuum my brain?

Just emailed my pitch!

I'm so excited, but regardless of what happens, I want to thank y'all for this great opportunity.

Thank you! I have my novel posted here already if you are interested!
It's called Cargo. :smiley:

Is the minimum amount of subs needed in pitching a premium series still at 300, or has that changed?

That's changed! There's now no minimum subscriber number for novel submissions.
