Editorial Services

I work with an array of clients, including novelists and short story writers, traditional publishers and self-publishing authors, think tanks and professors, and memoirists and essay writers. 

 

I offer beta reads, manuscript assessments, proofreads, copy-editing, line editing, developmental editing, detailed reader reports, and tailored combinations of all these services. I also help with query letters, and I offer consultations on the good and bad of the publishing industry. In addition to fiction editing, I offer academic editing and report editing, and I also work on marketing materials, from social media posts to conference programs.

 

I’m comfortable in Canadian, American, and British conventions, and I’m familiar with all mainstream style systems, including guidelines related to references and citations.

​

I’ve edited novels and short story collections for Radiant Press and Guernica Editions. I’ve proofread and copy-edited children’s books and YA for Inhabit Education. I’ve edited fiction that’s gone on to be published by Coach House Books and Invisible Publishing. I’ve helped dozens of self-publishing authors with novels, novellas, collections, and memoirs, and I’ve workshopped with newcomers to help them learn the basics of everything from grammar to formatting and storytelling to style.

 

In academic, institutional, and organizational contexts, I’ve worked on deep-dive projects for the Institute for Research on Public Policy, offering a range of copy-editing, proofreading, and substantive feedback. I’ve copy-edited and proofread membership surveys and reports for the US-China Business Council, and I’ve worked with the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities on guidebooks breaking down the complexities of Canada’s Income Tax Act. I’ve helped professors and assistant professors get published in academic journals, and I’ve worked on successful research proposals worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 

I’ve also worked with numerous other institutions and organizations as well as dozens of students and beginner writers.
