Booth is a journal of literary and visual art rooted in the tradition of the small-press review, publishing work that values formal intelligence and emotional precision over novelty for its own sake. Its comics section sits at the intersection of narrative and image, and the editors have historically treated the form with the seriousness it deserves—as a discipline of sequencing, pacing, and visual grammar rather than an adjunct to prose. The journal's affiliation with Butler University places it within a lineage of institutional support for emerging and established voices alike, and its readership is composed largely of writers, artists, and educators who read slowly and attentively. For this call, the editors are explicit about the terms of engagement: one submission at a time, images prepared as JPEGs at 850–900 pixels in width, landscape orientation preferred, and multiple images consolidated into a single zip file. The fee is $3.00 USD, a modest sum consistent with the operational realities of independent literary publishing. There is no cash prize attached; the reward is publication in a journal whose editorial standards are its principal currency. The guidelines also state plainly that work aided by generative AI is not accepted, and that submitters will be asked to confirm this on the submission form. The curatorial vision here is one of discernment rather than volume. Booth is not seeking a portfolio dump or a demonstration of technical range; it is seeking a coherent piece of comics work that justifies its own length and format. The landscape preference suggests an attention to how the page is read—horizontally, sequentially, with an eye toward panel rhythm and the movement of the eye across the spread. Artists should read the guidelines as a signal of the editors' care, not as bureaucratic friction.
