Sylvia Siemens

Profile

I have the experience, training and skill to help you find the right words and hone your message. My 16 years of experience as a communicator have equipped me to assist writers and advocate for readers. This means I give specific and meaningful feedback to writers while respecting their voice and keeping the audience's needs in mind.

It can be challenging to be objective about your own writing, especially after reading your text many times. But you probably know when there are opportunities for fine-tuning, clarifying and correcting.

Clients value my concise edits, quick turnaround of their projects, and insightful suggestions.

Need an index? I'm also an indexer, with experience in book indexes as well as periodical and online indexes. My subject areas include technology and computers, business, social sciences, cooking and horticulture.

I hold a business degree from the University of Calgary and certificates in both professional editing and technical writing from Mount Royal University. My indexing training is from UC Berkeley Extension and Graduate School USA.

I look forward to helping you communicate your message clearly and effectively!
