What people are saying about working with me.

“Janelle’s passion for comics, her astute eye, her professionalism, and her generosity of spirit makes her someone very special in the industry — she’d be a huge asset to any team.”

— Scott Snyder, (Batman, American Vampire, Nocterra)

“Janelle Asselin is one of my favorite editors. A passionate creator and geek herself, she raises the energy level of the creative team and keeps everyone on target. I can’t wait to work with her again.”

— Gene Ha (Mae, Top 10)

"The editorial process is a largely thankless one. It's not just about trafficking material to numerous people. You need to be able to find talent, nurture new talent, manage budgets and schedules, and work within the parameters set by management. You also need to exceed expectations and do that consistently. I've known and worked with Janelle several times over the years. Each time, Janelle has continued to be talented, dedicated, and professional. Janelle listens and adjusts to the changing marketplace, is able to see what can make a project better, and is a thoughtful, intelligent writer as well."

— Jamal Igle (Molly Danger, The Wrong Earth)

“Janelle is one of the finest editors I’ve had the privilege to work with. Detail-oriented, willing to go the extra mile for her creative team (including the letterer) and a delight to work with. Anytime she needs my services, it’s an automatic ‘yes’ because I always know it will be an interesting project, and a smooth experience.”

— Taylor Esposito (Maniac of New York, Bunny Mask, Bettie Page, Elvira)

“My work with Janelle on Fresh Romance was a great experience. She was managing and editing a number of multi-person teams on the book (writer, artist, colorist and letterer), but the workflow was incredibly smooth and well-managed, leaving me free to focus on doing the best work I could. This kind of behind-the-scenes work is often invisible, yet makes such a difference, and it made working on Fresh Romance one of my most positive experiences to date.”

— Sally Jane Thompson (The Ruby Equation, Under The Oak Tree)

“For over a decade, I have relied on Janelle’s keen editorial insight. She has a tremendous understanding of narrative flow, story mechanics and day-to-day management. Her eagle-eyed corrections and notes have made me a better storyteller.”

— David Gallaher (The Only Living Girl)

“Janelle is one of the best editors of all time. She is sharp, persistent, and helpful. She knows when to intervene, aid, and orchestrate a project from cradle to grave. Consider yourself lucky she is giving your project the attention it deserves.”

— Henry Barajas (La Voz De MAYO Tata Rambo, Helm Greycastle)

"Janelle's attention to detail combined with her wonderful narrative and visual aesthetic was what caught my attention when she created Rosy Press. I was extremely fortunate to have pitched a story that she liked, and enjoyed working together on it. So when she reached out to work on a new story, I said yes despite not actually having an idea to pitch. That, in and of itself, is the trait of a great editor; when a writer takes that reflexive leap head-first into the imagination pool just to work with them again."

— Jeremy Holt (Made in Korea, Before Houdini, Skip to the End)

“Working with Janelle on my creator-owned project has been fantastic. From start to finish, she knows exactly what it takes to create a book and tell your story. Her experience in the comics industry has been invaluable, from everything including script edits to project management with artists. Janelle is a professional in every way, and I can’t recommend her enough.”

— Joe Sieracki (A Letter To Jo)

“I can say, without exaggeration, that without Janelle I wouldn’t have gotten my graphic novel published. She was the glue that held the project together, offering insight on the story, helpful tips on preparing our pitch package, and shepherding the book through to completion. She was dedicated to the project in a way that inspired me and made me feel fully supported.”

— Mike Furth (No Going Back)
