Profile

I am a freelance editor and writer of books, magazine articles, and Web copy, with a focus on non-fiction. My project management, presentation, and process improvement skills — gained through nine years as a former business consultant — bring extra value to any project. I have an Editing Certificate from SFU (and currently serve on the program's advisory committee), and a BComm degree. In the words of a client (a vice president from David Aplin Recruiting): “Lana does great work! I was very impressed with how professional and consultative she was. And the quality of her editing work is excellent.”
