Comic Book Jobs: Abrams ComicArts

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!

It’s rare to see a job like this pop up on the internets. These are usually handled internally, a recommendation from an insider or a nod to a prior intern.

Future Publishing, in Bath, England, is looking for an Editorial Assistant, a position that they claim has a competitive salary with excellent benefits. The job will have you working across all sections of three of their publications: SFX, Comic Heroes and SFX Specials. According to the post, “Most of your time will be spent writing entertaining and authoritative copy, particularly reviews and news. So if you know your Captain Britain from your Captain Jack and your Flash from your Flash Gordon, this could be the role for you!”

Their requirements are pretty simple, since this is an entry-level position. They want a “fantastic and well organized writer” with a “passion and knowledge of sci-fi.”
