Patrick Barb – Editor

I am a seasoned print and digital editor with more than 19 years experience managing production and editorial development of multiple titles for illustrated, graphic novel, and instructional/academic titles. As an editorial project manager, I have an outstanding career record of print publishing success including multiple New York Times Comics and Graphic Novel Bestsellers. I also have industry-connected expertise with connections to the comics/graphic novel, illustrated gift, and art publishing genres.

As a publishing consultant, I draw on years of publishing experience to offer a wide array of editorial services for your projects in the print and digital spaces. My primary focus is on comics/graphic novel and illustrated gift projects; however, I’m willing to work with you to customize a package of services best-suited for YOUR project.

TESTIMONIALS

"Patrick was awesome to work with. Super thoughtful, very responsive, and helped me write something closer to what I actually had in my head when I started, which is always what I want in an editor"

"I've worked for every major comics publisher, with dozens of editors; Patrick B. stands out as one of the best in the field. It's not just because of his peerless ability to bring a team together, smoothly managing projects to their completion, but due to the fact that he has that all-too-rare, but all-too-important editorial skill: He knows both when to step in and make suggestions, as well as when to get out of the way, trusting the team he's assembled to do the job ahead of them."

—Aubrey Sitterson, co-creator of

The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling

(Ten Speed Press)

"Without Patrick's help, our book would not have happened. It was his idea to do it. He told us how to do it, he helped us when we didn't do that properly, and was always available to talk it through more. He was awesome to work with in every way."

—Gareth Reynolds, co-host of The Dollop podcast and co-author of
