Ruth Bradley-St-Cyr

Profile
With 20 years of publishing experience, I’ve seen – and done – it all, from marketing to proofreading to acquisitions. My specialties are editorial management, structural editing for non-fiction, and copy/production editing. I usually work onscreen, which makes working around the world simple, and I have edited documents from Korea to Turkey. My first loves, though, are Canadian Literature and Canadian Studies. “For the first time in publishing, I have found…that the editor can actually leave the author with a mutual feeling of having improved the book by working together.” – Ruth Morris, author “Ruth… regularly impressed us all with her knowledge, experience, and professionalism. She possesses a deep grasp of editorial development and production... Good for you for finding her.” – Joe March, Stewart House Publishing
