Comics University – Editorial with Amanda Meadows
June 14, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Comics University returns to the St. Louis Public Library this year in participation with SLICE (The St. Louis Independent Comics Expo). These four workshops in the month of June will guide you through everything you’d need to create your own comic book: Writing, Drawing, and Editorial. Participants who attend all four sessions will receive coupons for Betty’s Books , Wizard’s Wagon, and Apotheosis.
Editorial is often the unsung hero of literature. Eisner Nominated editor Amanda Meadows will walk us through the ups, downs, ins and outs of being an editor! We’ll learn the types of editorial that creatives work with as well as things we can do as creatives to look at our work with an editorial eye.
Amanda Meadows is an Eisner-nominated Senior Editor of comics, illustrated books, and prose. At Oni Press, she led editorial for Limerence Press, Oni’s imprint dedicated to sexual wellness, gender studies, and romance in fiction and non-fiction. She’s been a Senior Editor at Lion Forge Comics, co-publisher of the critically acclaimed indie humor press The Devastator, and a 2015 Publishers Weekly “Rising Star” Honoree. She can also be heard on the bad books podcast Dirt Cheap from Sony and Neon Hum Media. She lives in Los Angeles with her partner, cat, and many plants.
