Apply to Exhibit

Applications to exhibit at The Non-Fiction Comics Fest close July 27th, 2025 at 11:59 PM EST. The Non-Fiction Comics Festival is a curated show. All creators with non-fiction comics work are welcome to apply, but local creators and creators with new non-fiction work are particularly encouraged! Our committee will review applications and email you your application status by the end of August.

Application Guidelines

  • Since this is a curated show, you must show us examples of your work to be considered.
    The application form has a space to upload examples as a .pdf and/or link out to examples on a website.

  • You must show at least one non-fiction comic or zine at your table.
    Non-fiction includes (but is not limited to): Journalism, Autobiography, How-To’s and Guides, Essays on Historical, Scientific, or Technical Subjects

  • Comics should be the majority of your show material.
    Assorted merch and prints are welcome, but we are a book-focused show. Please keep comics and zines at least half of your table.

Pricing for Vermont residents: FREE!
