Getting to Know: SelfMadeHero and Manga Shakespeare Part 1

Introduction

I present to you, Emma Hayley! Now what makes this lady special? Well, one, she works at a United Kingdom company called SelfMadeHero and two, she is the lovely founder of the company. She has been working in the publishing industry “for a number of years now.” She edited a book titled “Learn to Draw Manga” about seven years ago, which is how she became interested in manga. Having years of publishing work under her belt, it has provided her with “very broad experience in all aspects of book publishing from the creational side to the business side.”

Introduction

I would like to introduce to you Ms. Maggie Lehrman! (Applause) She was an English major at Harvard University and previously, for one year, worked for HarperCollins. Currently, she is the editor of Manga Shakespeare and has been working at Abrams for four years. Her responsibilities as editor are acquiring “novels and picture books for Abrams Books for Young Readers and Amulet and edit them for publication.”

My Manga Shakespeare Event

Well, not an event like a party, but a week long of posts dedicated to Manga Shakespeare, one post a day. I had the pleasure of interviewing two lovely young ladies that dealt with the responsibilities related to the series. However, I will keep who they are as a surprise. :) I can give you a hint though. One is from ABRAMS books, the famous company that publishes art books. The other interviewee is from SelfMadeHero, the publisher of the series. So tune in on Sunday August 16, 2009 for day one of Manga Shakespeare week!!! Enjoy!
