Comic Book Jobs: Hasbro
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Action Figures, Editorials,
A certain Providence-based company is looking for an Associate Publishing Manager.
They’re looking for someone who “will assist in developing and managing licensing relationships with designated publishing licensees that will produce books, (trade, comic books, etc) utilizing Company-owned trademarks and brands to generate revenue and expands brand awareness.”
You need some mad skillz for the position, a Bachelors degree (English, Marketing, or Communications), 3 years in publishing, licensing, marketing and/or sales experience and account management involving Publishing, and some smaller skillz.
The job is posted through an employment agency and the company name is kept a secret so the agency can earn their commission. But this is the era of Google which reveals that the leading company for this job, the only company in Providence, RI that’s likely to be involved in comics and licensing, is Hasbro.
Good luck, job seekers!

Comic Book Jobs: Wizards of the Coast
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials,
Technically speaking, this isn’t a comic book job, but it’s an interesting one in a related field – lots of comic book people love the D&D.
Wizards of the Coast up in Renton, WA is looking for a Book Editor for their Dungeons & Dragons division.
“A Book Editor is responsible for recruiting new authors, working closely with new and existing authors to suggest revisions for drafts, line edit manuscripts, maintain and develop series, proofread galleys, and otherwise prepare text for publication.”
You’ll be part of the “D&D Story and Innovation team” and will be expected to contribute “story ideas for roleplaying games, board games, digital games, and other expressions of the brand.”
You’ll need some decent education, prior work experience of at least 3-5 years in publishing and you’ll have to pass the D&D “Book editing test” just to qualify for an interview.
Wizards of the Coast, of course, is a subsidiary of Hasbro, so be sure to ask when the free toys kick in.
Good luck, job seekers!
