Djeliya: sent an unsolicited email to TKO, they agreed to look at the pitch.
Monkey Meat: was introduced by Sebastian Girner to their editor in chief

A question for my fellow comic creator peeps: for your comics that landed at publishers, did you pitch the project through general submissions or were you invited to pitch/had a contact?
