Lee Nordling – Editor

I'm a career comics professional. I've worked as a writer, designer, art director, comics editor (on strips, books, and graphic novels), and comics packager. As a writer, I've been twice nominated for an Eisner Award, the comics industry equivalent of the Oscars, and won two Moonbeam Gold Medals for my sequential art (comics) picture books for young readers.I've worked at the following companies in the following capacities:Los Angeles Times Syndicate: Art Director (design, production, and new strip development)The Walt Disney Company—Publications/Creative Services: Comic Strip Writer; Designer; Project SupervisorDC Comics: Group Editor/Creative ServicesNickelodeon Magazine: Comic Strip Editor for Rugrats, syndicated by Creators SyndicatePlatinum Studios: Executive Editor—Comic Book Department (produced comics for adaptation into film/TV)The Pack: owner, editor, writer, designer, a comics packager for publishersAs an editor who's worked with countless new and experienced professionals, my first step is to determine a writer's objectives. Once established, the objectives set my criteria for whether or not the writer has achieved his or her goals. The process isn't about what I think is good or bad, or is or is not working; it's about helping writers rise to and meet their goals.
