We are a semi-traditional publication house! What does that mean? See the note at the bottom of the page!
Don't let that name fool you; we are a publication company that works with many mediums, including, but not limited to, short stories, poetry, novels, graphic novels, webcomics, and comic books. We are new, but our founder has over a decade of experience in editing and ghostwriting, and everyone on this team has vast experience in their fields.
One rule is that we prioritize writing inclusively over writing for the sake of being "woke." We do not support creating tally marks or preachy stories. If you don't focus on inclusion and diversity in your writing and just create inclusive and diverse pieces, you'll feel right at home here.
At Holy Creations Comics, we believe in providing a platform for creators of all backgrounds and beliefs. We value diversity and embrace a wide range of perspectives in our work. We are open to all genres and themes, with one exception: the only other rule we have is nothing is allowed to praise the devil. Our commitment to inclusivity means everyone is welcome to share their stories with us, regardless of their political, religious, racial, or sexual identity. We believe in spreading love and positivity through our stories and look forward to collaborating with talented creators from all walks of life. Join us in creating a community of acceptance and creativity at Holy Creations Comics.

Semi-traditional publishing is a hybrid model between traditional publishing and self-publishing. In this model, authors have slightly more control over the publishing process than in traditional publishing but still have the support and resources of a publishing company.
You don't need an agent to query with us; you can represent yourself, but if you prefer using a representative, such as an agent, that is your right (and okay with us).
In semi-traditional publishing, authors typically pitch their book to a publishing company, which then agrees to publish it. The publishing company provides editing, cover design, distribution, book marketing support, and other necessary resources.
However, at some of these hybrid publication houses, authors may also have to contribute financially to some of these services. But, here at Holy Creations Comics, we will not charge you upfront (unless you request something out of the norm in your contract). We are NOT a vanity house! We only get paid if you get paid; your success is our success, and we are in this together. Neither of us pays upfront; if you don't make money, we don't!
Overall, semi-traditional publishing offers authors a middle ground between the autonomy of self-publishing and the resources of traditional publishing. It can be a good option for authors who want more control over their books but still want professional publishing support.
