As an editor of 4-color books with 15 years of editorial and production experience at nimble independent publishers, I focus on giving feedback that you can confidently apply within your means of effort and resources. My editorial offerings to graphic and illustrated book creators include:
– Pitch and query assessments
– Portfolio reviews
– Developmental editing of your story arc, script
– Developmental editing of page layouts and pencil art
– Sensitivity reading of completed work
– Editorial project management
Hey! I’m Amanda Nora Meadows, an Eisner-nominated editor of comics and prose offering creative services for a variety of clients, from authors like Steenz Stewart to large publishers like Hasbro. Previously, I led editorial operations for Limerence Press, an imprint of Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group dedicated to sexual wellness, gender studies, and romance in fiction and non-fiction. I also acted as senior editor of Middle Grade, YA, and French-to-English graphic novels for Lion Forge Comics. The titles I’ve worked on have earned starred reviews in Kirkus, Booklist, PW, and School Library Journal, and spots on annual “best of” graphic novel lists on NPR, BookRiot, and more. From 2009 to 2017, I was co-publisher of critically acclaimed indie humor press The Devastator, for which I copped a Publishers Weekly “Rising Star” Honor. My partner, cat, and I live on Tongva land a.k.a. Los Angeles surrounded by books, plants, and puppets.
