Call for Illustrators

Hey, everybody, spread the word: We are actively seeking a talented illustrator for our graphic-play initiative. As followers of our blog already know, we are adapting Australian playwright Declan Greene’s Moth into a graphic novella as part of our tenth-anniversary celebration. Of course, a big part of the project is finding the right collaborator to work with Greene, negotiating the space between one medium and another with creative vision and artistic generosity.

Check out our earlier post for specifics about Moth. To adapt the play, the artist must be available in May 2014. Pay is commensurate with experience, but we guarantee a minimum of $70 per page for a total of 56 pages (with color) on 60# paper in a 6 x 9 inch, perfect-bound book for a minimum print run of 1,250 copies. The fabulous finished product will be mailed to our subscribers (one of our “bonus mailings”) by November 2014.

We will choose the finalists through an audition process. Candidates will sketch a small portion of the play, and then Greene and our staff will select the rendering that seems the best fit for the material. If you are interested or know someone who may be, please email editors[at]cincinnatireview[dot]com.
