Editors' Association of Canada

Gillian Urbankiewicz

Profile

 

As an editor I’ve worked on projects ranging from poetry to scientific reports. 
No matter what the subject, I approach every project with professionalism and a critical eye. Over five years spent in-house has given me an awareness of the publishing process from start to finish. Recently I’ve had a particular interest in the technological changes in the publishing industry and have shifted my business to incorporate electronic publishing and marketing.

When I’m not editing, I like to spend my time running, belly dancing, and learning about nutrition and food politics.

Education

Certificate in Publishing (Ryerson University, Chang School)
B.A., English and History (University of Guelph)

Memberships and Volunteer Work
