Profile

I am the editor of award-winning adult and children's fiction and non-fiction.

 

I have been an editor for eleven years, working in-house at a book publishing company and also freelance. Additionally, I have been an editor at a medical journal and have done editing/proofing for a financial communications company. I have designed and laid out book interiors and covers, done photo research, fact-checking and website updates and have been involved in book production (dealing with printers, getting quotes, proofing galleys, etc).

Many books I have worked on have been shortlisted for awards like the Arthur Ellis Award for crime fiction and the Silver Birch, Red Maple, Norma Fleck, Hackmatack Children's Choice and CLA Children's Book of the Year awards for children's books.

More details about my work and testimonials from satisfied authors are available on my website. I bring the full spectrum of editorial skills to a project and also in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the publishing process, from the first draft to the final product.

For references and samples/examples of my work, please contact me, and I will be happy to supply them.
