Igor Goldkind Biography

Igor Goldkind is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on April 20, 1960 in Lansing, Michigan, United States.

After attending San Francisco State University and the University of California, Santa Cruz earning a degree in Philosophy, Goldkind freelanced as a young political journalist. In 1983, he moved to Paris to pursue journalism. It was here that he met and studied with Michel Foucault, the French Post- Structuralist. After receiving a graduate certificate from La Sorbonne, Goldkind moved to London where he worked first for Titan Books in the 1980s and then for Egmont Fleetway in the 1990s as a marketing consultant and PR spokesperson. Here, Goldkind helped develop and promote the term “graphic novel” as a way to help sell the trade paperbacks then being published. He admits that he “stole the term outright from Will Eisner,” with the author’s permission. His contribution was to “take the badge [brand] and explain it, contextualise it, and sell it convincingly enough so that bookshop keepers, book distributors and the book trade would accept a new category of ‘spine- fiction’ on their bookshelves.” Today, the Graphic Novel is a well-respected, internationally recognized genre.

While in the process of concentrating on his own writing in the 1990s, Goldkind became one of the UK’s early innovators in digital media. He set up a digital publishing company called Artemis Communications in 1993 with the highly esteemed graphics artist Dave McKean as Art Director, to produce interactive dramas based on comics and SF characters. He then evolved the company into one of the first digital agencies in the country, developing many first-ever publishing websites for Oxford University Press, Pearsons Publishing, Lisson Gallery, The Tate Modern, and Usborne Books. In 1998 he established Signa Internet Strategies, considered to be the UK’s first exclusively Search Engine Optimisation company. Working for companies such as Sony Europe, Goldkind continued to consult and project manage large scale digital initiatives for a variety of private and public enterprises interested in combining visual art, language, and computation. In 2011, Goldkind became the Creative Director for a Liverpool-based idea incubator called the SUBVERSIONfactory. In 2014, after living abroad for 30 years, he returned to San Diego to care for his mother.
