Conor Welter – Editor

A transplant from Hollywood, I love working w/ writers of all formats to take stories to the next level, particularly in speculative fiction

Overview

For the last eight years I have helped authors of all levels of experience improve and polish their stories. Prior to that, I spent years reading the best and worst Hollywood had to offer for production companies, movie studios, and television networks.

I love working with ambitious writers, offering perspective, insight, and a sounding board. I have a particular preference for genre works, but that is by no means a steadfast rule.

I've also spent many an hour fixing every last misplaced vowel and Oxford comma for my dyslexic lawyer spouse and will gladly do the same for you.

I have a BFA in Film and Television Production as well as an MA in Media, Culture, and Communication both from New York University.

Was amazing to help me through my writers block. I did say that this doesn’t have an end date it is just going to be a long and drawn out process. However after one edit he deemed the story done and advised I use it as an example rather than the short story to book I was hoping for. A shame our i...

I was really struggling to land the ending of my short story and Conor's recommendation really helped to t...
