I work for JJ Express Magazine - a non-profit children's magazine that uses comics to teach kids about social issues. It's run by awesome, passionate, and kind young people who are ready to make a difference in the world!
I'm on deviantart to see great artwork, help other artists, and recruit artists that I like to JJ Express Magazine.
If you want to submit to JJ Express Magazine, send your comic or three samples of your work to art@jjexpressmagazine.org
Cheers!

No problem! I really like your style...I work with a children's magazine called JJ Express that uses comics to teach kids about social issues and, as a part of the comics development committee, I would really like to include your style of work too. Would you be interested in working with us; trying out some comics or illustrating the few articles/stories we include in each issue? If you're interested - we can put you in a database of artists and we'll contact you if we get an assignment that fits with your style and you can decide whether or not you want to do it.
OR - you can come up with your own comic ideas and pitch them to us. Would you be interested? Thanks!

I can get someone to send you a copy of the magazine. It's relatively new. Basically I'll pitch your portfolio at the next editor's meeting and if we come up with something that we think would be a good fit for you, we'll let you know or put your name in our artists' database for future projects. How are you at working with deadlines?

I work pretty good with deadlines. I can finish a a comic or illustration If I have have at least 2 1/2 to 3 weeks to work on it.

Do you guys have a specific policy about the artist's rights?
