What does a creator get from ArtZone?

You get a professionally-printed, 24-page book of your art, at no cost to you. You can see the issues we've done so far over at the main ArtZone page, and here are some pics of the sample issue.

More specifically, you get 25 copies of it, to give away, sell, just have, or whatever else you'd like to do with them. We, Jarlidium, also get 25 copies of your book, which we will sell at the conventions we go to, to cover the costs of printing. We will also solicit your books with our distributors, such as Second Ed, and sell copies to them if they choose to order. This adds up to lots of exposure for your art!

How do I get into ArtZone?

If you're interested, please contact us at info@jarlidium.com. We can only publish a certain number of issues per year, and we have to be able to sell them in order to cover the printing costs — that's what makes it free to you — but we will be glad to review your art and discuss whether and when we can do an issue with you!

What do I have to supply?

Three things: cover art, an introduction or bio for the inside front cover, and enough interior art to fill 23 pages. We strongly encourage you to also supply text commentary on the interior art; knowing what an artist was thinking about, or a technique they were trying out, or the story behind a piece makes the book more interesting to readers. See the content details page for more information.

What happens to the copyright on the art and text?

You retain the copyright on all art and text which you supply. Your copyright notice will appear in the indicia, located with other publication information on the last page of the book. When you sign an ArtZone contract with us, you are granting us permission to:

Publish a book of your art and text according to the terms described on this page and on the ArtZone process page. We will not sell your art and text except in this form.
Use small samples for the purposes of promoting your book, the ArtZone series, or Jarlidium Press in general. We will not produce any new promotional material using your art or text after your book goes out of print, but it may continue to appear in advertisements which were prepared during the in-print period. Typical examples of promotional use are:
- A thumbnail of the cover of your book on our website.
- Posters for use at our dealer's table at a convention.
- Advertisements which may appear in other Jarlidium titles, other publications such as convention books, or as flyers which we hand out at conventions.
We may also provide a PDF of your book to distributors for the purpose of promoting your book to them. The PDF will not be printable and they will not be allowed to give it to anyone else.
