Jonathan Stevenson – Editor

Eisner Award nominated editor, proofreader and creative consultant specialising in comics, graphic novels and genre fiction.

Overview

I have worked as a full time professional editor at Titan Comics, Humanoids and 2000 AD as well as on various freelance projects.

I was the managing (and founding) editor of the Titan imprint - Statix Press. Many of the titles I oversaw received great reviews from revered titles such as Publisher's Weekly and The Guardian. In 2020 I became an Eisner Award nominated editor when one of my titles was nominated.

I was simultaneously the editor on Titan Comics' two flagship titles - BBC's Doctor Who - The Thirteenth Doctor and Tank Girl.

After Titan, I moved to Humanoids where I worked on multiple titles including Mad Woman of the Sacred Heart by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius and the Eisner Award-nominated Tiki: A Very Ruff Year.

I currently work at Rebellion/2000 AD where I edited the first 2000 AD Annual since 1991. I curated, wrote and edited The 2000 AD Art of Sean Phillips and worked with Gail Simone to create a one-off Misty reboot. I also oversee the Judge Dredd Case Files series and Strontium Dog projects.

When I'm not editing I am a Guardian bestselling comics writer and am currently working on my own novel.

I am keen to work with you on your comic or graphic novel as well as most fiction.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I highly recommend Jonathan. His professional expertise, eye, open communication, and ability to pin point the main challenges of a story (while never losing sight of the original vision, nor pushing an author to go in a direction that isn't aligned with that vision) made it easy for me to transf...

Jonathan carried out rigorous editorial assessment of my thriller franchise - the first two completed novels.
