Connor J.
Experienced and Versatile Copywriter and Editor
With a Bachelor's degree in English and over a decade of freelance experience, I specialize in proofreading and developmental feedback for fiction authors. I bring a sharp eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the craft of genre fiction. I am well-versed in the Chicago Manual of Style and work fluently with Microsoft Word Track Changes and the Google Suite, ensuring a seamless, transparent editing process for every client. I thrive under pressure. Tight deadlines and high-volume projects are my bread and butter, and I consistently deliver polished, publication-ready work without sacrificing quality. What sets me apart is my passion for genre fiction, particularly fantasy, romance, and their subgenres. I understand the unique conventions, tropes, and reader expectations of these genres, which means I can strengthen your manuscript on both a technical and storytelling level. If you're looking for an editor who is reliable, detail-oriented, and ready to meet you where you are in your process, I would love to hear from you.
