Editor Anjali Singh Among HMH Firings

A second look at this week's news of massive job cuts in the publishing and media worlds yields reports that Anjali Singh was one of those let go by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Singh has been one of the most important editors in all of comics the last decade and her being let go is about as big as it gets where comics publishing overlaps with book publishing.

It was Singh that while an editor at Pantheon acquired the internationally successful Persepolis books (since combined into one volume), one of the key works in North American book publishing's interest in comics. She was also responsible for acquiring Epileptic, The Rabbi's Cat and La Perdida. She had taken over the Best American Comics series upon moving to HMH in 2006. At HMH, Singh was responsible for Blue Pills, HMH's English-language edition of Frederik Peeters' award-winning volume. Another book she discussed in press for Blue Pills called Tina's Mouth is I believe a comics/prose hybrid that has not yet been released.
