Work experience

Markosia Enterprises

Jan, 2010 — Present
As Editor-In-Chief of Markosia I am responsible for managing our catalogue of over 500 graphic novels and prose books. I also work closely with our Publisher, Harry Markos, in approving new titles and searching for new talent. I oversee the production of all our new titles, working with both creators and printers to ensure that we produce work of the highest quality. I am also responsible for the book design of all of our titles, whether that's working with what our creators supply or generating designs and logos from scratch. I also write and letter a number of our graphic novels.
