What is LINE Webtoon Discover?
Discover is our free and open platform for creators to publish their digital comics and connect with millions of readers around the globe. Discover creators have an array of products at their disposal to promote their comic and interact with their fans. All comics have commenting on every chapter, social sharing to every popular platform, subscriptions for readers to receive push notifications for new content, ratings, likes, and more.
How can I move from Discover to become a Featured Creator?
We are always looking for new creators who are passionate about making great comics! The Featured section of LINE Webtoon represents the best creators in the business. Creators who become featured have access to more product features, receive marketing and PR support, and are paid. There are several factors we look at when evaluating comics for our Featured section. Here are some of the most important ones:
- Quality: Is your story-telling fantastic and your writing sharp? Is your art professional and does it display strong sequential story-telling skills?
- Popularity: Traffic, likes, comments, subscribers, and ratings are all things we look at when evaluating new material.
- Ability to publish: Are you publishing on a regular schedule? Will you be able to publish at the same level of quality on a weekly basis?
The benefits of becoming a Featured Creator
1) Get Paid
Not only you will receive a stable and guaranteed monthly rate based on your work, but you will also receive additional incentives based on your comic’s readership.
2) Promotion
Featured Creators become a part of the LINE Webtoon family and we support all Featured Creators through editorial support and a variety of marketing, PR, social media support, and events. Becoming a Featured Creator at LINE Webtoon means that we consider your work among the best in the industry and want to help you further grow your audience and become a part of a world class comics offering.
Many of our top comics have come through the ranks of Discover to become hits both in the U.S. and globally. Tower of God, Where Tangents Meet, and Cheese in the Trap all started where you are right now.
