Françoise Mouly is a designer, editor, and publisher. Mouly studied architecture at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts, and moved to New York in 1974. She founded Raw Books & Graphics in 1977 and for fifteen years published artists’ monographs and the annual “Streets of Soho and Tribeca Map & Guide.” Mouly was the founder, publisher, designer, and co-editor, along with her husband, cartoonist Art Spiegelman, of the pioneering avant-garde comics anthology “RAW,” which launched in 1980.
She joined The New Yorker as art editor in April 1993 and has been responsible for over 800 covers in the years since. In 2000, she published “Covering The New Yorker: Cutting-Edge Covers from a Literary Institution” (Abbeville Press). Also in 2000, Mouly launched a RAW Junior division, publishing books of comics for kids by star writers, children's book artists, and cartoonists. In the spring of 2008, Mouly launched TOON Books, her own imprint of hardcover comics for emerging readers.
In 2001, Ms. Mouly was named Chevalier in the order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, and in 2011 she was named Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. At the ninth Carle Honors Awards in 2014, the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art granted Mouly the Bridge award for promoting children's literature.
