The Indy Comic News site offers independent publishers and creators, retailers, and bloggers and comic news writers tools and services which are outlined below:

For Independent Publishers and Creators
• The ability to post their press releases / announcements along with images and links to downloadable files
• Have your company listed in the Publisher’s Directory giving readers, retailers, bloggers, and writers the opportunity to contact you and learn more about your company and titles. Visit the Directories page to learn how to submit your company’s information.
• Add information about your just-released books to the Out This Month page so people can learn more about it
• Have their project’s pre-ordering information added to the ICN site’s Pre-Ordering Comics page for the month that it is available for pre-ordering. For example, if your project is available for pre-ordering in June 2008, then it will be added to the June 2008 Pre-Ordering page. This page will be made available for download every month from the ICN site and the popular CBIA forum which is populated by many of the direct market’s “indy-friendly” retailers

Contact ICN to receive more information via email about ICN and how you can start using the site today.
