Experience
As a Certified Professional Editor*, I bring to your project over 30 years of editorial
experience, including 20+ years as the managing editor for a trade book publisher and
8 years as editing and writing specialist with an educational publisher. I launched
my own editing business in 2008.
I have a degree in English literature from the University of Toronto (with a minor in French) and am a graduate of the Banff Publishing Workshop (Books; Book Editing). I'm easy to work with, and I love tackling even the most difficult text and making it accessible and enjoyable to read for its intended audience.

Human resource personnel in business, non-governmental organizations and government are becoming aware of EAC certification, and are starting to ask for it as proof of editorial excellence."
