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
