COHORTS
Companions. Colleagues. Comrades. Co-pilots. Co-conspirators. COHORTS.
From epic team-ups to cahoots collectives, besties, even baddies, let’s see them form a plan, make the journey, and reach the goal.
Show us who will come together to tell your story in an 8-page comic.

Who We Work With
Oneshi Press is excited to work with beginning creators, seasoned professionals, and everybody in between! We want fresh voices, exciting new perspectives, and those with important stories to tell. Folks from marginalized groups are especially encouraged to submit; your voice needs to be heard.
How We Work
We work on a collaborative co-op model—or a COHORTS model?—where everybody wins when anybody wins.
For more information, see our submission guidelines.
What We Make
We print a small number of limited-edition anthologies. These are shipped out to our contributors, our Kickstarter backers, our Patreon subscribers, and anybody who buys them from our online store. We also sell at conventions and in a select few brick-and-mortar stores.
We also sell digital copies of the anthologies on our online store.
We’re Looking For…
We recommend perusing our website and reading the synopses of our previous works at our online store (no need to purchase) to find out what we’ve published in the past—especially the other anthologies.
We’re a progressive, inclusive, collaborative publisher. We love work that celebrates the best of humankind (and other species, too). We’re into love, kindness, justice, and forward thinking. But we are not interested in glorifying the bad stuff—hate has no place in our pages.
Finished Comics
Finished comics, complete with art and letters, are given priority in our selection process. (After all, we know they’ll be ready in time for the deadline!) Eight pages are ideal. Remember, we want stories that explore the theme of COHORTS.
Scripts
If you’ve written a short comic script that fits the COHORTS theme, but don’t have art yet, send us your script! In your submission, let us know if you have an artist attached, or if you’re searching.
Art
We’re always looking for fabulouse artists to pair with writers! Send us your portfolio and/or links to your work, and we’ll get back to you!
