Jamie R

Jamie R – Editor

I am a Senior Editor/Proofreader with 15 years of experience in comic books, graphic novels, young adult literature, and children's fiction.

Overview

Hi there! I am a writer/editor/proofreader/mentor/Jamie of all trades, so long as those trades involve words. I work full-time as an editor at Archie Comic Publications, Inc., and have also written a number of series for the legendary company, including their first-ever YA original graphic novel, Betty & Veronica: the Bond of Friendship. In addition to my comic writing, I also write a bi-monthly column for the California-based, non-profit DIY punk culture magazine Razorcake, where I have frank discussions about mental health. I have also dabbled in the past with writing satire, and will jump at any and all opportunities to write comedy. I recently launched my own print zine, which includes essays, poetry, comics, and art from both myself and other creatives. I enjoy doing hands-on work with youth, teen, and mental health organizations, and doing all I can to make people smile. I am also a recently converted wrestling fan and would love to talk your ear off about it if you'll let me.

I am proud to call the near-outskirts of New York City my home, where I live with my husband and our small-yet-thriving window plant collection.
