Comic Book Jobs: Editor @ Abrams ComicArts

Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials,

One of the industry’s premier comics publishers is looking for an editor to come aboard.

Abrams ComicArts wants “a detail-oriented individual, with innovative product development skills in the area of comics and middle grade and young adult graphic fiction, to be responsible for editing and project managing 7 - 10 titles per season.”

As editor, you’d be acquiring titles for their ComicArts list and well as graphic novels for Amulet Books. Abrams ComicArts publishes a lot of great stuff - everything from the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books to William Stout’s Legends Of The Blues to The Carter Family: Don’t Forget This Song by Frank M. Young and David Lasky.

Comic Book Jobs: Abrams ComicArts

Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Interviews,

Abrams ComicArts, the graphic novel portion of the mighty Abrams company, is looking for an Editorial Assistant to help nudge their books along.

You have to be an “organized, detail-minded individual with a demonstrated interest in graphic novels or illustrated books to provide administrative and editorial assistance to an editorial director and publishing director.” Got all that?

It really means trafficking, filing, collating proofreading and any task the editor doesn’t want to do or doesn’t have time to do.

You’ll need a bachelor’s degree and 1-2 years of publishing and/or office experience, and the usual publishing software skills.

Abrams ComicArts does some really nice books, so this’ll certainly look good on your resume.

Salary is in the low $30s, so you’d pretty much have to already be living in NYC to make this happen.

Good luck, job seekers!

Comic Book Jobs: Who’s Hiring? Abrams Books!

Abrams Books needs a “License And Brand Manager, Children’s Books” for their Amulet Books division as well as Abrams Books For Young Readers. If Amulet sounds familiar, it’s because they publish little things like, oh, Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the recently-released graphic novel for little kids, Fiona Robinson’s The 3-2-3 Detective Agency.

Looks like a nice place to work, plus, seriously, it’s Harry Abrams and while you’ll be working for Amulet Books, the parent company does a ton of great comics-related books for non-children. One of their most recent books is Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-creator Joe Shuster by Craig Yoe.
