26 years of making words work harder — for authors, publishers, and businesses across Canada and globally.
Philosophy
How you write what you want to say matters even more.
Clear and concise writing, and clarity of thought, are essential elements of a well-written project — whether it's a romance novel, memoir, business book, website copy, magazine article, press release, or corporate communications.
A well-written project is also a project that has been properly edited. Eliminate the cringe factor and ensure your text is error-free, and tells the story you really want to tell.
My goal as a freelance editor is to ensure your message is clearly communicated to your audience, and that you have something you feel good putting out into the world. I'll make it cleaner, clearer, and more concise.
I have the knowledge and skills to improve your content.
I can make your text tighter, cleaner, and market appropriate.
With 26 years in publishing, I'm confident I can make what you have better and help you reach your goals.
Background
I started my career as a fiction editor at Harlequin Books in 2000, acquiring and editing manuscripts for nearly seven years with a focus on structural and stylistic editing of women's fiction.
I went on to serve as senior editor and editorial director at Entangled Publishing from 2011 to 2025, where I helped authors reach the NYT and USA Today bestseller lists.
I offer developmental editing, substantive editing, copy editing, stylistic editing, and proofreading across a wide range of genres: fiction, non-fiction, romance, women's fiction, speculative fiction, children's books, memoirs, business books, textbooks, technical and educational material, and financial literature.
Manuscript evaluations are a particular strength. I've done hundreds, and the feedback I provide has shaped many authors' books from first draft to publication.
I also bring extensive experience as a trade magazine editor, having managed various publications, including a Canadian health and wellness magazine, a veterinary newsmagazine published by Elsevier Canada, Optical Prism for eyecare professionals, the Food Security issue of Women and Environments International Magazine, and Benefits Canada.
I spent a year as a health writer for a Canadian publishing company and two years handling communications for an Ontario political party.
I'm a former member of the Editors Canada (EAC) Toronto branch executive, where I served as newsletter chair and editor; co-chair and editor of Active Voice (EAC's national newsmagazine); and Marketing & Public Relations co-chair.
