If you’re serious about publishing,
then you owe it to yourself and your project to hire someone serious
about publishing to help.
Ian Feller, head of 813 Services & Solutions,
graduated from Towson University in 1991 with a Bachelors Degree in
Psychology. He started his career as the manager of a comic book retail
store before moving into publishing where he was first the editor
of Comic Book Collector magazine, then launched and served
as managing editor of COMBO magazine, overseeing all editorial
aspects as well as writing a monthly column. He
then took the reins as promotions manager for Wizard Entertainment,
where he was responsible for bringing in revenue through the creation
of mail-away #1/2 comics and increasing circulation by upgrading the
comics and other inserts found in the polybag of each issue of Wizard
and the Wizard Specials. Ian then
moved on to CrossGen Entertainment where he started as director of
corporate communications, helping distinguish the upstart publisher
from its competitors and establishing the company as an award-winning
brand through extensive editorial coverage and recognition throughout
the comic book industry and the mainstream, landing placements is
such diverse publications as Maxim, Better Homes &
Garden and Southern Living. He also handled all of CrossGen's
advertising and convention planning, served as an integral part of
the editorial team, oversaw the creation and maintenance of the company's
website, and many other tasks too numerous to name. He was then promoted
to director of ancillary publishing, launching two new publishing
imprints, Code 6 Comics and CGE, and serving as managing editor for
the lines, handling all day-to-day operations including locating and
securing new titles and working with the creators on implementation.
Ian’s most successful discovery was J.M. DeMatteis and Mike
Ploog’s Abadazad, announced by Disney Publishing Worldwide
to be the reason for their purchasing of CrossGen’s assets in
2004. Let Ian use that knowledge and experience to help you.
