Editors' Association of Canada

Laura Byrne Paquet

Profile

If you need a detail-oriented editor who won't stop until the last fact is checked and the last footnote is punctuated properly, call me. Since 1992, I have edited everything from advertisements to annual reports for government, corporate, publishing and non-profit clients. My copy editing jobs have included six travel guidebooks, a guide to heritage architecture and a local history book. A published guidebook author, social history author and novelist, I also write frequently for Canadian and American magazines.
