Sean Fletcher
Editor specializing in manuscript critique, developmental editing, and traditional publishing support for fantasy, science fiction, YA, MG, and select genres of adult fiction.
Sean Fletcher’s experience as an author, editor, and teacher has given him a well-rounded view of authors’ work at any stage of their writing journey. In his work with middle grade, YA, and adult fiction—primarily in the areas of fantasy, sci-fi, and most contemporary genres—Sean has assisted hundreds of authors in building multidimensional characters, engaging plots, original voices, and deep themes across their respective age groups.
Sean’s love of writing and editing really jumpstarted in college, where—during an intensive pre-veterinary medicine degree—he extensively studied the craft of fiction and completed four practice novels before embarking on his professional writing career. Since then, he’s become an Amazon bestselling author of multiple YA fantasy series and an award-winning author of middle grade fiction. He’s also spoken at numerous writing classes, conferences, and other venues across the country, including the Pacific Northwest Writers Conference, RWA San Jose, and the Rutgers Writers Conference.
Sean takes a story-first approach to editing, grounded in craft, clarity, and a real love for the genres he works in. His feedback is encouraging, honest, and full of practical suggestions that help both the story and the writing shine. With a sharp eye for pacing, character arcs, and structure, he offers thoughtful guidance that’s never heavy-handed—always framed as ideas to consider, not rules to follow. Sean works closely with authors to support their creative vision and help shape a more engaging, readable, and rewarding story.
He also draws on his years of experience as an indie author and time spent as a literary agent to bring a multifaceted, multi-track perspective to authors looking to pitch or self-publish. He enjoys all aspects of the writing and editing process, including developmental editing and revision, outlining, query letters and pitch packages, assessing a work’s marketability, author platform consultations, marketing, and more. As an author himself, Sean understands how tough it can be to get honest feedback, which is why he always provides compassionate insight to help elevate your work, no matter where you are in the process.
