So you want to live the life of a glamorous Internet content provider? The editors at uExpress are always looking for up-and-coming talent, whether you create a comic, animation, game or text feature. Our editors can also consider your work for syndication to other sites through uclick.com, the leading humor content provider on the web.

Read the following FAQs and send your submission today. After we receive your submission, you'll be contacted by e-mail within two weeks. Good Luck!

HOW MANY CARTOONS/ANIMATIONS SHOULD YOU SUBMIT?

We prefer four to six weeks of samples of a proposed feature so that we can judge the quality and consistency of your work. As long as the material is clear and easy to read, it may be submitted in any form. You may e-mail a URL for our editors to visit online, or you may send copies by snailmail. Do not send originals. Please keep your submission compact.

WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH MY SUBMISSION?

Please include a letter or e-mail explaining the purpose and scope of your material. A stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return of the material should be included. Be sure to put your return address on both the letter you send and the submitted material.

HOW LONG SHOULD YOUR COLUMN BE?

Many publishers today are tight for space, so we generally look for text features that are between 650 and 700 words.

HOW MANY COLUMNS SHOULD YOU SUBMIT?

We prefer to see six to ten samples of your proposed feature so that we can judge the quality and consistency of your work. Please submit only copies, and make sure the material is clear and easy to read. Only one copy of each column needs to be submitted.

WHAT FORMATS SHOULD I SEND?

Usually, comic strips and panels are drawn at twice the size that appears in your local newspaper. Any size is acceptable as long as it can be reduced proportionately. Strips should be reducible to 13 by 38.4 picas; panels to 24 by 19 picas. Digital copies of comics should be "gifs", "tiffs" or "jpegs". Animations and games should be in Macromedias Flash, Macromedias Shockwave or Java. Text should be in ASCII, Word or comparable formats.
