Christopher Morgan – Editor

Former Tor Books Editor with over a decade of experience in NYC Publishing focusing on Fantasy and Science Fiction.

Overview

I am a life-long lover of the Fantastic, and I've had the unbelievable pleasure of being able to make a career out of it. After over 10 years in traditional publishing at Tor Books, I've refined my passion, and am able to provide help for projects from both brand new authors and established brands. I've worked with such fantastic folks as R.R. Virdi, Kel Kade, Kevin J. Anderson, DUNE, Brandon Sanderson, Glen Cook, Cat Rambo, and R.A. Salvatore. And I look forward to working with you.

Christopher Morgan's written (~750 words) editorial assessment of my short story (~8,500 words) highlighted what I did well, and (gently) what can use improvement.
