Where can a bright and funny 12-year-old writer-illustrator submit their original #comic #cartoons #graphicnovel? Are there any #international #competitions, #litmags, #zines with submission calls for young writer-illustrators?
Please and thank-you 🖖

Me and the Brazilian lady interviewed on BBC: Actually, he's the 2nd American pope. He's the 1st North American pope because, you know, Francis was from the Americas, Argentina to be precise
