Attention Employers: Please read these guidelines

When posting a job offer, please double check that you
are including enough information on the job. It should probably include
most, if not all, of the information below.

A good description of the job

Makes sure you are giving artists a decent idea of what you
are looking for. For example, "looking for artist for 4 page
comic" is not enough information. What kind of comic is this? What
genre? Do you need pencils only, or inks and color? Can you provide a
brief summary of the concept (or at least a teaser to give the artists an
idea if it's something they are interested in)?

Compensation

If you have a set budget in mind, be up front with it. If
you don't have a set budget, be clear that you are asking the artists to
submit their rates. Don't leave the question hanging in the air.

Deadline

If you have a deadline, it wouldn't hurt to make it known
right from the beginning. If it's open, that's good to know too.

Usage

If it's not otherwise clear, it would be good to know how
the art will be used, as it will affect pricing, and probably the method
of creation and delivery.

Contact information

This is a big one that people forget somehow. Give people a
way to get in touch with you. Providing your email is probably best. If
you prefer not to do that, you can ask artists to respond via private
message on this forum.

Information or questions of interest to everyone is of
course welcome in the threads.
