Profile

I am a professional editor and writer with a Master of Publishing degree from Simon Fraser University. For two years, I was an in-house editor at D&M Publishers Inc. For over four years, I wrote and edited textbooks for English as a Second Language students. In 2008, I started my company, SO Succinct Editorial Services. I edit trade books of all genres, academic books and papers, short fiction, magazine articles, newsletters, educational materials, business manuals, annual reports, and promotional copy. My writing has appeared in Western Living, GuestLife, and The Block magazines. In addition to being a member of EAC, I am also a member of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC). I am dedicated to providing superior professional editorial services for all your written needs.
