Kat Vendetti, Editor in St. Louis, MO, USA

Overview

I’m an editor specializing in comics, copyediting, and proofreading. I previously was an editorial assistant at Lion Forge on Rolled & Told and Catalyst Prime, an assistant editor on Wayward Kindred from TO Comix Press (2020), and the assistant editor on The Curie Society: Game of Code (2026). I currently am the production coordinator at AHOY Comics and the board secretary for the St. Louis Independent Comics Expo (SLICE). I also proofread regularly for WEBTOON Unscrolled.

With my nine years of experience, I’m passionate about making your project the best art that it can be while keeping your voice and vision intact. If you’d like to know how we can collaborate on a project or if you have any questions for me, please feel free to contact me!
