Dawn Loewen

Profile

I am an EAC-certified copy editor with more than a decade of experience as a book editor (both fiction and non-fiction), first in-house and now freelance. My experience encompasses everything from children's books to popular history, poetry to illustrated botanical fact sheets. My background includes an M.Sc. in ethnobotany, editing courses from Ryerson and SFU, and extensive on-the-job editorial training. I particularly adore -- and excel at -- detail work. It would be my pleasure to give your writing a professional editor's polish.
