About me
I've worked in house for two of Canada's largest publishers and have years of freelance experience, working both for publishers and with authors.
I specialize in trade fiction, but I've copy edited everything from newsletters and manga to nonfiction and scholarly monographs.
I have a reputation for accuracy and attention to detail when it comes to house style, grammar and storyline consistency. But just as important, I'm known for preserving the author's voice, providing clear explanations for suggested changes and meeting deadlines without fail.
