	Jesse Guiher from Oregon says... If you are looking to get your comic syndicated, and really have no clue how to go about it then Steve Dickenson is your man. Even if you think you may have a clue as to how things work in syndication, I would strongly advise you to buy Steve's book, because brother let me tell you practically everything I thought I knew, I really didn't. Do you know the one true key that all syndicates look for in a new comic strip? Do you know what a "targeted comic strip" is? Steve will tell you all this and more in his great little e-book, it is well worth the money. I have searched for many years for anything that would give some inkling, even the faintest glimmer of how syndicates choose the comics they do, and I am here to tell you such information is extremely rare. I have purchased books in the past that pretended to know what they were talking about on the subject, but all of that mainstream "knowledge" is pure drivel and doesn't tell you one tenth of the great gems that Steve does. If you are wanting to be a syndicated cartoonist this e-book is a valuable key to get you started on the right path. And if you have the extra money to pay for Steve's personal "cartoon tune up services", do it in a heart beat you will save years of time, money and frustration. Suffice it to say the man knows his business, and if you are serious and want to be a part of the great business of cartooning, stop dreaming about it and grab this invaluable information right now!

Dear Aspiring Cartoonist-

Do you have a fantastically, funny concept, but you just don’t know how to get it in front of the right people?

If you wait one more minute, or make one false move - will someone else sell your idea to that one cartoon agency that’s waiting for it?

Does getting paid to create cartoons sound like a Fabulous! Fantastic! DREAM?! . . .that’s always just out of Your Reach?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’ve got a lot in common with every, single, syndicated cartoonist who ever lived! They had talent. They struggled early. They made some mistakes. And they ALL (yes, every, single, solitary, one of them) received rejection letters over and over and over again.

But the successful ones - especially the ones who’ve been syndicated more than once -- learned the secrets to the business of syndication.

And you can too!

It’s ABSOLUTELY Not Lack of Talent that’s Stopping You from Selling Your Cartoons. . . .

So let’s just get one thing straight right out of the gate. It’s not lack of talent that’s stopping you from selling your cartoon’s to sought-after syndicates, for a king’s ransom, and publication in 20, 30, 407+ newspapers across the US and around the world.

You know you have talent.

After all, you’ve been writing side-ripping gags since high school where you channeled your talent, frustrations and adolescent obsession with breasts into hilarious, grinding gags that left your friends (and a few enemies) guffawing in the back of English class.

But you thought getting paid to do more of the same once you were out of school would be just as natural and easy. It was only after a few rejections from those lords of cartooning – the editors – that you realized there is far more to selling your cartoons than drawing them and writing milk-out-your-nose funny gags.

*************************************************
All you need to know to make a killing with the cartoon syndicates has been painstakingly pulled from the brain of one of the premier cartoonists in the last 30 years.

In his just-released book How& Where to Sell Your Cartoons, master-cartoonist Steve Dickenson rips open the kimono and tells you all the dirty little secrets about how he busted the barriers to syndication.

****************************************************

You will find out just. . . .

• What editors are looking for in a cartoon for syndication, and what they’re NOT looking for
• What the differences are between BIG syndication houses and smaller ones
• Where you can find a veritable Shangri La of alternative markets that are on the hunt for slightly off-beat, to completely-warped cartoon concepts
• The truth about how the syndicates are run and what their strategies are - I assure you, it’s NOT what you think
• What editors think about, how they make their decisions
• Who editors trust and WHY they trust those people
• What kinds of pressures editors are under, why they are soooo freaking busy AND how you can break through the "busy" sign they posted to keep out the riff raff

 

"But How Can You Be Sure Steve Really Knows What he’s Talking About?"

 

Here's his youtube video,

And if you're still not convinced, you can see his portfolio here

 

There are a lot of pretenders out there. Self-titled "syndicated cartoonists", who’ve done nothing more than what you and I can do with our own drawings and a free web hosting account. They published their cartoons on their own web site. They may have even written a book about how to draw and how to publish on the web.

And who can blame them. Publishing on the web is easy to do. And it’s a great way to get some exposure for your cartoons. And some of them are damned funny!

But it’s not the same as being inside the walls of an editor’s office, sitting across from that editor and talking cartoon syndication, while making neat little coffee rings on the cherry wood desk.

And that’s what Steve has done. He’s cracked the secret editor’s code. He didn’t just knock on the door, he broke down the barriers. He won his first syndication deal after lots and lots and lots of trial and error. Then he won his second, his third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh deals.

Here’s what a couple of editors have to say about Steve.

 

Steve Dickenson is an inventive veteran of the world of comics and syndication. His off-kilter humor and creative draftsmanship have made him a well-known character and an expert in what it takes to succeed. - Mary Elson, Managing Editor, Tribune Media Services

 

Steve Dickenson is a darn funny cartoonist -- but he's more than that. When it comes to the business of syndication, he's also a very smart cartoonist.  Except, of course, when he gave away his strip idea about a hapless boy and his beagle. Mark Bazer Associate Editor, Tribune Media Services, Inc.

 

 

“there are Just So Many Cartoonists
Out there. . . .

Isn’t it Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Hard to Get Syndicated?!”

 

Let’s be honest. There are six or so BIG syndication houses and there are lots of cartoonists. The average newspaper syndicate receives three to five thousand submissions per year – and a fistful are chosen for syndication. . . true.

But here’s what you don’t know.

The so-called experts have been saying there’s no more room left for newcomers to cartoon syndication since the late 80s. Yet Dickenson got his THIRD syndication deal with his Dillon strip in the 80s, and it published in almost 100 newspapers from the start!

And then he got four more syndication deals after that.

Why?  Because there are heaps of ways to get syndicated, such as . . .

• Alternative market strips (like the one that ran Steve’s Bedside Manor comic in more than 400 medical newspapers and newsletters). And there are loads and loads of these. In fact, there are so many, they’re like cow patties in a cow pasture. Once you find the pasture, it’s tough to keep from stepping on one. 

 

• Development deals – are handed out as often as the Sears Catalogue (as Steve says). And that adds up to dozens and dozens of added opportunities for aspiring cartoonists.

 

The Real Truth is there is NO LIMIT to the Number of
New Cartoons Syndicated Every Year!

You just need to know how to
Swing the Odds in Your Favor

 

It comes down to two things:

1. Knowing how to get in the door of the syndicate
2. Getting the editor’s attention

That holds true for individual newspaper editors as well as big time, big-money syndication editors!

So what would happen if you were privy to the kind of information that can only come from a guy who has been there, a guy just like you, who knocked on dozens of doors and got no reply. . . .at first.

 

Steve Dickenson has been syndicated SEVEN times throughout his 29-year (and counting) career. His long list of syndicated cartoons includes – Lola, Dillon, Nest Heads, Tar Pit, Brother’s Keeper, Swing Shift, BedsideManor, plus Military Brats (an un-syndicated cartoon that ran for three years in the Air Force Times). His cartoons have appeared in hundreds of newspapers around the WORLD from the US to Finland, Sweden, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Viet Nam, and more.

 

Steve's a very creative guy and an excellent comic writer. He's contributed several great ideas to DENNIS THE MENACE and it was a lot of fun collaborating with him. I've really enjoyed following his adventures in the syndication business! Ron Ferdinand Artist/Writer for Dennis the Menace Sunday strips

 

What if there was a guy who finally got the editors to answer, and now has not one, but seven syndicated cartoon to his name. What if that guy was willing to share his knowledge with you in a no-holds-barred style that speaks the truth like no one else ever has.

Well “that guy” is Steve Dickenson, and the book is How & Where to Sell Your Cartoons.

 

Take a peek to see what you’ll discover inside this book.

 



 

 

Do You Have What it Takes to Get Syndicated?

 

If you ask Steve Dickenson (or any other syndicated cartoonist, who is really honest with their answers) how in the world he got syndicated, he’ll tell you straight out (without groping for a Twix bar before getting his story straight).

It’s not because he’s a better cartoonist than anybody and everybody on the planet. It’s not because he has the most expensive pens you can buy (he doesn’t). And it’s not because he learned the whizzy new computer graphics faster than everybody else (he didn’t).

It’s because he learned the rules of the syndication game. He spent 29 years learning what to do and what not to do. When to push the limits, and when to play by the rules. And he’s still cartooning, Still in the know and Still sipping cold coffee regularly with the titans of syndication, the editors.  

And that’s why every word of his newly-released book is a treasure trove of information for every cartoonist who hopes to sell their cartoons and win the big prize! Syndication!

But that’s not all. . . . .
