Editors' Association of Canada

Eve Rickert

Profile

A certified stylistic editor, copy editor and proofreader with 10 years of experience, I focus on the natural sciences, sustainability and Aboriginal affairs. An enthusiastic science communicator, I believe you can convey your message clearly, concisely and beautifully, whether you're a university researcher or a government manager, and whether you're talking about microbes, dandelions or native land rights.

I hold a master's degree in environmental studies and a certificate in editing. I have in-house experience at D&M Publishers Inc. (owners of the Douglas & McIntyre, Greystone Books and New Society imprints), the magazines Conservation and High Country News, the journal Environmental Practice, and the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. My freelance clients have included the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the Aboriginal Housing Management Association, Island Press, the Columbia Institute, the University of British Columbia and the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE).

In addition to writing, editing and indexing, I provide full-service publications support, working with associates to offer solutions for everything from small editing jobs to large, complex projects involving editing, print or Web design, project management and specialized research.
