Clem Flanagan – Editor

Hi, I'm Clem! I have worked as an editor for London publishers since 2017, working on bestselling titles ranging from the BBC Between the Covers pick 'DEVIL'S BREATH' by Jill Johnson to the Waterstones Scottish Book of the Year 'THE LAST WITCH OF SCOTLAND' by Philip Paris. I specialise in romance, commercial fiction, crime and fantasy.

I completed a BA in Creative Writing and English Lit and an MLitt in Publishing Studies, and have spent my life writing creatively and analysing what makes a good story great. I am available for developmental editing, copyediting and proofreading.

If I sound like the right editor for you, here are a few things to bear in mind when sending a request:

- Tell me a bit about yourself and your intentions towards your project. Are you aiming for traditional publication or will you be self-publishing?

- What stage do you think your manuscript is at? This helps me determine which service is right for you (and it might not be the one you think you want). Please select just ONE service when requesting a quote.

- Why are you looking for an editor now? Do you struggle with structural elements of your manuscript or do you need help with your line craft?
