Be Creative

Before striking out on my own, I worked as an editor for Harlequin Books in uptown Toronto where I acquired and edited manuscripts for almost seven years. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English/Literature from the University of Saskatchewan, an honours certificate in Book and Magazine Publishing from Centennial College, and a graduate certificate in Creative Writing (fiction stream) from Humber College. I'm a Voting Member of the Editors’ Association of Canada, a member of Plain Language Association International, and the Writers' Community of Durham Region. I was Newsletter Chair/Editor for Edition, the newsletter of the Toronto branch, for the 2009/2010 term, and the English editor/co-chair for Active Voice, the Editors’ Association of Canada’s national newsletter for the 2010/2011 term. I was also the Lead Editor for the Food Security issue of Women and Environments International Magazine, and am the Editor of Optical Prism magazine. As of November 2011, I am the Senior Editor and Managing Editor for Entangled Publishing's Indulgence line.
