Person
Chris McClean is an award-winning author, graphic designer, speaker, and writing coach. Chris was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but his family roots trace back to the beautiful island of Barbados, West Indies. Chris spent over ten years in law-enforcement and uses his experience and education to demand his readers' attention with realistic scenarios throughout his stories. After serving four years as a Patrol Officer for the Philadelphia Police Department, Chris took advantage of an opportunity of a lifetime. In 2012, a small police department in the suburbs of Philadelphia hired Chris, which made him the first African-American officer in the history of that department. After years of searching for a way to teach young children about social issues they were likely to encounter, he created the CrimeFighters: Defenders of Justice. The CrimeFighters are a diverse group of heroes that teach safety lessons to young readers.
As a writing coach, Chris has helped over 25 writers self-publish more than 50 titles. He has assisted writers with outlining, editing, marketing, illustrating, and designing promotional material. Chris has been a speaker at several elementary schools, libraries, and non-profit programs. His presentations include reading of his books, safety presentations for children, and self-publishing presentations for aspiring authors.
Chris McClean's debut storybook The CrimeFighters: The Heroes Fight a Fire ranked on Amazon's Top 100 Best Selling Children's Books in the summer of 2016. Since then he has released stories that touch on the subjects of bullying, theft, and stranger danger. In 2017, Chris was a finalist for the Book Excellence Awards (The CrimeFighters: The Heroes Stop a Bully) and winner of the Hungry Minds Book Award for the 2017 Independent Children's Publisher (The CrimeFighters Book Series). The CrimeFighters series comes in picture books and a chapter series. Along with the CrimeFighters book series, Chris also worked with developers to create the CrimeFighters Coloring Book App for Apple and Android. The app is scheduled to launch in the spring of 2018.
Along with perfecting his penmanship, Chris also started a book review program called Creedom Book Critiques. Alongside his son, CJ, Chris provides honest book reviews to authors of all genres. Chris started Creedom Book Critiques after seeing the minimum amount of exposure independent authors received, despite all the hard work they put into their books.
