Stephanie Halldorson

Profile

PhD in English, published author, over 12 years’ experience editing for business, academic, and independent writers of all skill levels.

I work out of Toronto and Charlottetown, PEI.

For Scholars

I offer an ability to read deeply and thoroughly in any field of inquiry. I’ve worked on numerous dissertations, including those in business, architecture, pharmacology, culture theory, computer science, and gravitational physics, and I have enjoyed the challenges and new knowledge that each of them has offered.

For Business
I offer an eye for clear, clean writing, and am comfortable rewriting and ghostwriting business documents that come to me as a bundle of bullet points and numbers. I have experience in press releases, marketing documents, business reports, presentations and lectures, biographies and memoirs, and website content.

For Independent Writers
I offer a manuscript assessment service, as well as developmental, substantive, and copyediting for writers looking to submit to publishing houses or self-publish in e-book form.

Testimonials
"Exceeding our expectations, Stephanie looked up some of the authors we were citing and improved on how we were summarizing their main points! With our revise and resubmit for a top-tier academic management journal, Stephanie helped us find the right language — formal but very clear — to articulate our ideas smoothly and concisely. She made sure every piece of our argument was firmly in place and in the most logical order."

"What I like about Stephanie is her ability to morph into the character I need. I’ve used her for casual newsletter emails and formal PowerPoint presentations and she’s always able to find the right tone for my audience. She’s just great at what she does."

John Rodd, Orchestral Sound Engineer, Los Angeles, USA

“Stephanie is a genius! She helped me see what was missing and then turned lists of facts into a savvy business report that was a pleasure to read.”

Renee Laprise, President, Mugisha Enterprises, Charlottetown and Toronto.
