James Hogan – Editor

A lover of witty wordplay, snappy dialogue and great storytelling. Edited 200+ graphic novels, specialising in fantasy, comedy and action!

Overview

Hello!

I'm a copyeditor and proofreader with more than 12 years' experience and over 200 published titles to my name, both fiction and non-fiction. I have longstanding relationships with numerous publishers, and my projects include Eisner Award nominees at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Having specialised in comics and graphic novels, my expertise lies in rendering sharp dialogue and witty wordplay. I love helping authors bring their characters, worlds and concepts to life, and my collaborative process ensures that your unique voice will always shine through. Comfortable in a variety of genres, I particularly enjoy working with action and fantasy, especially if there is a little humour involved, whether pitch-black or family-friendly!

Get in touch today – I'll help you find the right words!
