Hey, I'm Clea Connor! Author, editor and your new book bestie.

You’ve worked hard to write your book and you can’t wait to see it in people’s hands. But first you need to edit it and if you look at it any longer, your eyes may fall off. 

That’s where I come in. Let’s work together to get your book from first draft to finished.

Here's the deal...

I’m very passionate about helping authors like you reach their goals.

From polishing your manuscripts to publishing them on your own. 

Every step of the way is fascinating, and I’m here to help you step into that reality where your readers are proudly showcasing your books on their shelves. 

I’m an author, too. I know how difficult and impossible it seems to get that story out of your head and into the page, in a way that makes sense and sounds good.

That’s why…

After reading hundreds of books and writing my own, I have a keen eye for what makes a good book and a better story.

So, let me ask you a question…

Is your first draft ready?

If the answer is yes, we’re about to have a lot of fun getting your book in tip top shape and ready for release day!

Here’s what I can do for you:

Beta Reading

A look at your manuscript from a reader’s perspective to gauge your audience’s potential reactions and engagement.

Developmental Editing

The first step in the process. It looks at the story as a whole (big-picture style) and helps you determine whether the plot, characters, setting, structure, pacing, tone, theme, etc. are solid or if they still need tweaking.

Line Editing

A line-by-line look at your manuscript on a sentence level to check for readability, clarity and concision.

Copy Editing

A detailed look at your manuscript for grammar and spelling errors, typos, punctuation, and more, to make sure your text is grammatically correct.

Proofreading

The last step in the process. It checks for last-minute typos and errors so that nothing slips through the cracks before publication.

By the way…

I specialize in editing fiction Young Adult, New Adult or Adult books. If your book isn't in those categories, shoot me an email and I'll see if we can work together.

Love notes from my clients

How'd we get here?

Glad you asked!

My love for reading started in middle school when I got my hands on some MG books. After that, escaping into fictional worlds became my new normal. 

Eventually, though, I started creating my own. I had too much imagination and spent most of my time daydreaming new stories, so it was only logical that I would put pen to paper. 

Years later, my detail-oriented brain led me to find joy in the language itself, and I became a freelance editor. Now, I use my skills to help other writers like you while I pursue the same dream; to become a succesful, published author.

When I’m not reading, writing or editing books, I’m petting my cat or watching animes, scrolling through social media, or walking in nature. Sometimes you can even find me learning a new skill for the fun of it.
