Chris is a writer, developmental editor, and Marine veteran. He built Betascape Magazine to demystify story revision and study narrative execution in public. His background brings a high level of discipline, organization, and a sharp, diagnostic eye to the slush pile. He looks at prose objectively, isolating structural hurdles to protect and amplify an author’s specific vision. When he isn't in the editorial trenches or parenting, he’s exploring the desert with his family.
