It’s my job - along with an incredible staff - to basically keep all the parts running and moving forward. At this point, we publish around 70 originals works of fiction with original illustration each year. Along with that we established a robust short fiction publishing program. The idea was to be a source for news and entertainment about science fiction and fantasy across all media, regardless of who was publishing or producing the material: a collection of reading groups, blog posts, and news items. And then spending a lot of time working with many amazing artists and designers to come up with (hopefully) an appropriate cover for each book on our list.Ī couple of us started Tor.com as a kind of magazine-blog hybrid in July 2008 (launching on Moon Landing Day). Reading parts of books if they are available. This means talking to editors, Sales, and Marketing teams. (Yes, this is my 20th year!) The company has grown in leaps since then, but my job has essentially remained same - I'm responsible for getting the covers made.
I came to Tor Books in 1993, almost straight out of school, and was the art director by 1994. These two jobs have surprisingly little in common (beyond the fact that I'm able to commission some amazing art for Tor.com's short stories.) I’m the art director of Tor Books and the Associate Publisher of Tor.com.
