Christopher Cooper – Editor

I'm a friendly and constructive editor who is always looking for new opportunities to stretch myself and work with interesting people on cool ideas.

If you're seeking an experienced publishing professional with a flair for telling fun and engaging stories, real or imaginary (they don't have to be set in space, even if that does seem to be my MO), please get in touch.

I'm currently focused on short stories, comic book scripts, and screenplays, although will consider longer projects.

Editorial Skills:

•Generating creative ideas and concepts for magazines, books, and comics, including developing a short fiction strand for Star Wars Insider magazine.

•Working with writers, designers, and artists to refine concepts and advise on style and structure.

•Commissioning, copy-editing, proof reading, writing feature articles and conducting interviews, writing promotional and marketing material with relevant team members.

•Managing multiple projects on-schedule and within budget.

•Liaising with licensors to refine manuscripts and implement changes where necessary, including Lucasfilm, Disney, Dreamworks, and CBS/Paramount,

In addition to my editorial experience, I also have extensive writing experience, from which I have gained valuable insight into the creative process of storytelling and bringing ideas to the page, pitching compelling story ideas to publishers and developing those ideas into full outlines and completed manuscripts. Clients have included: Big Finish Productions; Titan Comics; Immediate Media; Penguin/Random House.
