Congratulations on writing your story! You've done the hard part, but the work isn't over quite yet. Before you publish your project or approach an agent, you need an editor to help polish your words and make them shine in a creative, clear, and consistent manner. That's where I come in.
I am an accredited, experienced, and diligent editor and proofreader with over ten years of editing experience and another ten in communications. I have worked with a wide array of clients from all over the world, from first-time authors to large corporations.
Based in Toronto, Canada, after exciting professional stints in Los Angeles, California, and London, England, I am comfortable editing to Canadian, US, or, UK spelling and style.
As an Advanced Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), formerly the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP), I have qualified for the institute's highest level, and I am bound by the CIEP's Code of Practice to ensure editorial excellence. I am also the recipient of the Marsh Jeanneret Memorial Award for editing from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and a former columnist for a national weekly. My writing background and my editing experience make me a diplomatic editor who is at ease with writers.
From developmentally editing a Cold War-era memoir to copy-editing a collection of essays written by Nobel Prize-winning economists to proofreading a YA book about a Korean boy's struggle to cope with loss, from self-help books to NGO proposals, I have worked with writers from around the world on hundreds of books and reports.
I am particularly adept at working with new authors who might require multiple stages of editing. With fiction authors, I help strengthen their characters, plot, point of view, and timelines. With nonfiction writers, I help polish and present their ideas in a clear and consistent way (plain language, if requested). And with all my clients, I help bring out the best in their writing.
I am also a member of the international editorial collective Editing Globally, a group of experienced editorial professionals who provide seamless and thorough editorial services to clients around the world.
