More than 25 years' experience: 10 years as an in-house editor (Toronto Life, Western Living); more than 10 years editing for book and magazine publishers as well as government/corporate clients (City of Burnaby, UBC). An intense stint of writing and editing for a Web hosting company familiarized me with the essentials of compelling Web content. Working with self-publishing writers or those needing help before submitting to agents or publishers is another specialty. My personal essays have appeared in newspapers and magazines, my poetry in literary journals. As a writer, I feel I have an affinity with my clients; feedback bears this out.
