📚 WELCOME TO PRINTOPIA — a celebration of books, comics, and graphic novels from Creators all crowdfunding together from SEPTEMBER 9 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2025.
After the incredible success of Comictopia and Booktopia last year, we’ve decided to merge them together for one unforgettable publishing experience — a celebration of stories, art, and the amazing Creators behind them!
This time around we’re doing things a little differently. Projects will be organized into unique groups—giving you fresh, creative ways to explore, support, and have fun with the stories you love. It’s a whole new way to connect with the worlds and creators that inspire you!
🌅DAWNRISE
For all ages, Dawnrise celebrates stories that bring joy, wonder, and imagination to life. These uplifting tales invite readers to explore bright beginnings, gentle adventures, and moments of pure delight that inspire hope and curiosity.
🌄SUNCREST
For middle grade, teen, and adult readers, Suncrest bursts with energy and bold adventures. These stories celebrate courage, growth, and the thrill of overcoming challenges, inspiring hope and a strong sense of possibility.
🌇DUSKMELT
For teen to adult readers, Duskmelt explores similar themes of courage and growth but with a deeper, more mature perspective. These stories delve into complex emotions, relationships, and life’s challenges, inviting reflection without crossing into explicit territory.
🌌NIGHTFALL
For older teens and adults, Nightfall offers rich, complex stories that delve into the darker and more nuanced sides of experience. These narratives explore mature themes and challenge readers to engage with the deeper shades of human nature and imagination.
Stay tuned for more announcements about the event, groups, and incentives as we get closer to the launch of Printopia on SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 ✨
