Profile

Certified for excellence (EAC Certified Structural and Stylistic Editor), trained, thorough, and efficient, I bring 25 years’ experience to each new writing and editing project.

My education and training include:

- BA in English Literature (University of Toronto)

- Diploma in Web Content 

For 25 years, I have been writing and editing for companies, individuals, and organizations, including many Canadian publishers. Today, I am focussing on 3 things:

- offering consulting, coaching, manuscript evaluations, and writing and editing services for web sites, blogs, and other communications in these areas—trade publishing, corporate, and not-for-profit

- continued professional development and education
