Hire the best comic book and graphic novel editors

If you’re a regular reader of comic books and graphic novels, you‘ll know that the success of these visual formats doesn’t just depend on the illustrations and artwork — but also on the strength of the story.

No matter the subgenre of your comic book or graphic novel, your project will find success if you can create compelling characters that command the readers’ attention, a satisfying beginning and ending, and a conflict that can carry the novel and win over the reader. To check off all these boxes and more (style continuity, for example), hire a comic book or graphic novel editor who can see your script’s potential and draw from their deep knowledge of the market and the genre’s tropes to help you elevate it to its best possible version.

Reedsy is home to the top graphic novel and comic book editors in the publishing industry, so if you’re looking to hire one, look no further. We vet our publishing professionals thoroughly, accepting only the top 3% of publishing talent.
