Thank you for your interest in Broken Frontier! Check out our contact details and team bios below.

headlines@brokenfrontier.com
For press releases, previews, solicitations and scoops.

reviews@brokenfrontier.com
For review requests, digital or hard copies. If you want to send hard copies to a particular staff member, please contact us for details. Due to the international whereabouts of our staff, we don’t list a public mailing address. Since we receive multiple review requests daily, we cannot cover all requests. We do, however, share requests that fit within our coverage area across the team and cover as much material as possible.

If you’re a self-publisher or small presser please read our article on getting coverage for your comic here for advice on how to pitch your review request. Review submissions are accepted on the understanding that coverage can be critical as well as positive, and that reviews will become a permanent archived resource on Broken Frontier recording the landscape of the indie comics community of the time.

If requesting review coverage please either ensure there are at least 2-3 pages of your comic available online for use in the review, or alternatively send us 2-3 pages as an e-mail attachment. We can no longer accept review requests if there are no interior pages supplied to illustrate our coverage of your work.

We do not review comics using AI art or the work of any creator using AI art in their practice. Similarly those who are involved with NFTs are not eligible for coverage at BF.

Broken Frontier is an inclusive platform seeking to celebrate the diversity of the medium and those who work in it. We do not accept review submissions from anyone who is either involved in, or who associates with those involved in, comics hate groups.
