Whether you’re writing suspense or self-help, the goal’s the same: to get your meaning across to your readers. To do that well you need grammar, punctuation, and proofreading that add clarity, not confusion.

I’ve been editing, proofreading, copywriting, and doing layout in one form or another for 15 years. Besides dozens of courses (including Ryerson University’s copy editing course), my experience includes editing fiction, articles, corporate communications, and documents for the health care sector.
