Amanda Meadows

Comic Book Editor

Third-person time, baby! 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.OK it’s me, I'm back! First off, I'm a Black American, 1st gen Maghrebi, pan/bi baby girl from Santa Ana, CA. Folks tend to clock my goofy sense of humor, bottomless curiosity, and deep love for weirdos. During a chaotic and alienating ‘90s kidhood, comic books reconnected me to my imagination. Coming of age in the nightmare neocon ‘00s, zines helped me find my voice. These days, I get excited to make OGNs and books about/with people on the margins of pop culture, who endure transformative experiences, and who like to question our beliefs about pleasure and power.Me and my partner live on unceded Tongva land (Los Angeles, CD10).
