Falling in love with your best friend is a weird experience…doubly so when you’re both girls!

Q: Who is your audience?
A: Everyone! Generally our books are aimed at the older teen market, as some books may contain mature themes or language, but we believe our overall appeal is pretty broad. Besides, age is no concrete indicator of maturity level, so what may be inappropriate for one may be perfectly fine for another. Use your own judgment. We do, of course, note down our suggested reader level on all books.
Q: Who are you guys? What’s your deal?
A: 3Apples Media is a group cooperating to bring fun, enjoyable books to market. Founded on the simple idea that good comics are worth paying for, we focus on quality over quantity, and fair treatment for our creators. Each story we choose to publish is a story we personally enjoy reading. After all, with a company run by comic industry veterans/fans, readers should feel confident that any book carrying the 3Apples Media logo will be a mark of quality.
Q: Sounds neat! I have this great idea, will you publish me?
A: This is a more complex question, so I’ll separate this into three parts.
- Creators – If you are an artist who is already working on a comic, and are writing your story on your own or already have a writer, you fall into this category. The more complete your story already is, the easier it will be for us to decide upon, so if your story is still in the layout/sketchy phase, additional finished art and further story details would be appreciated for evaluation purposes.
- Artists – If you are an artist without a current story, or you are an artist who does not do comics but does adult art, you fall into this category. We require examples of finished artwork if your proposed art submissions are currently incomplete. Sending links to an online gallery or portfolio is also appreciated, if you have one.
- Writers – If you are writing a story, but do not have an artist, or are seeking to publish a prose piece, you fall into this category. Again, please make sure to supply us with as much information regarding your story as you can, and whether you have an artist for consideration or if you would need one.
For all submissions:
Send your material to getcreative@3applesmedia.com. If sending in physical form, you may mail your submission to:
3Apples Media
PO Box 40372
Bakersfield CA 93384
Do not mail original artwork as we cannot be held responsible for its care or return. Please be aware that, while we do look at all submissions, due to high e-mail volume and other obligations we may not be able to respond to all who submit ideas. If it’s been over two weeks and you still have not received a reply, please e-mail us again.
Diana Sprinkle likes to draw, even sometimes draw comics when she can be bothered to squeeze them from her constipated brain pen.

Miu is just a guy who draws comics and boobs, although for some reason is constantly mistaken for a girl. Online, at least. He doesn’t really look like a girl. Miu does, however, enjoy drawing cute pictures and covering stuff in hearts.

3Apples Media was founded in 2005 by a small collective of comic industry veterans dedicated to doing what they do best: creating. We love all kinds of art and comics with a passion, a requirement for staying power in the tough industry that is book publishing whether artist, writer, or publisher.
We believe in quality over quantity, artists for artists. No grandiose promises we can’t fulfill…no pretenses. Good books can be that simple.
