How does the process work?

1. You and we agree to print a Webcomic Archive book of your work, which includes negotiating the exact page count (usually 24, but we can also do 28 or even 32 if there is a compelling reason), the number of strips required, the trim size (we can adjust the dimensions of the book to some extent to reflect the shape of your strips), and whether the interior will be black and white (usually) or color.
2. We consult our printing calendar and determine when we can print your book. This may be several months in the future if we already have a lot of commitments. Based on our calendar and yours, we negotiate a due date for the content.
3. We mail you a contract. You sign one copy and mail it back to us and keep the other for your records.
4. On or before the due date, you provide us with enough material to fill your book. If you miss the due date, you may lose your slot in our calendar; if that happens, we will tell you the next available slot in our calendar and you may choose to wait or cancel, or we may choose to cancel. See the content details page for more information on what you need to supply.
5. We do touchup and layout of your book and produce a PDF. We send you a URL to the PDF and you see what we've done. This step lets you check that we haven't left anything out, put it in the wrong order, attached text to the wrong piece of art, etc. If there are problems, we will work with you to address them and produce a corrected PDF. If you and we still cannot agree after the second PDF, you or we may choose to cancel at any time.
6. Once the PDF is approved, we solicit your book with our distributors to get preorders. When preorders are in, we send your book to the printer.
7. When we receive the books, we ship your 25 copies to you and any preordered copies to our distributors.
8. We will keep your book in print for one year after the initial print date. This means that during that period:
   • You may order additional copies from us at the distributor price, which is half of cover price, and we may fill your order from our stock and/or print additional copies, at our discretion.
   • If we receive distributor reorders, we may fill those orders from our stock and/or print additional copies, at our discretion.
   • If we sell out of the initial 25, we may print additional copies for us to sell, at our discretion.
   • At any time, we will provide an accounting of how many copies of your book have been printed and how many have sold.
9. At the end of one year, your book goes out of print. That means that we will continue to sell and fill orders from whatever stock of your book we have remaining, but we will not print additional copies.
