EDITING

 

I'm a professional editor with 30 years in the publishing industry (magazines, newspapers). I have edited authors in a number of genres, including memoirists, journalists, and academics. 

​

Having worked as a writer, both freelance and on staff, I know how time-crunched content creators are, and how much they need a second set of eyes.

 

I can help with: 

​

• structural and line edit that memoir you've been sitting on for years

• catch inconsistencies in thesis or academic journal paper 

• clarify your company's story to better connect with your audience

• structural edit of reports, case studies, white papers for better flow and structure

• check existing communications for consistent messaging and an easier read

• oversee social media content -- blog posts, twitter feed, web copy

• fact-check white papers

​

My editing portfolio includes: 

• Copyedit memoir of Martin Connell, co-founder Ace Bakery 

• Preliminary substantive edit of memoir by Laurie Haughton, Through the Lens of Motherhood

• social media editor, Web Geeks 

• Twitter feed, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto

• substantive and copyedit of various PhD and Masters theses

• on-staff editor, national consumer magazines
