Hmmm, I'm 70,000 words into a sci-fi novel....but it's not complete...should I try to enter this and see if they take me up on it as I finish it? I have another that is complete...but I wrote it with the idea of turning it into a comic/anime....and I have an artist already turning it into a comic. Would it be frowned upon to submit the story to become a book in that case?
It sounds like you need to firmly make you mind up what you want to do with this story.
If you want it trade published, don't pursue the comics/anime route.
If you want it turned into a comic or anime, don't pursue trade publishing.
There
are routes to do both. Some very trade authors sell anime and manga adaption rights and get spin-off adaptions, but they have no control over those adaptions which you might not enjoy. Other trade authors commission art and mini-comics for fun out of their own pocket, but these are usually snippets and scenes, not the full thing, and
you would need a good agent if you wanted to finance a full comic adaption of a trade published work. Indie published authors have the freedom to release both a novel and a comic, but the financial cost of a comic adaption is huge, and selling anime rights would be difficult unless you have high sales.
If you want to pursue both routes, you're going to lose control in some areas and may have to make sacrifices. If possible, choose the route you want the most control over and stick with that.
