26 years of making words work harder — for authors, publishers, and businesses across Canada and globally.
Philosophy
How you write what you want to say matters even more.
Clear and concise writing, and clarity of thought, are essential elements of a well-written project — whether it's a romance novel, memoir, business book, website copy, magazine article, press release, or corporate communications.
A well-written project is also a project that has been properly edited. Eliminate the cringe factor and ensure your text is error-free, and tells the story you really want to tell.
My goal is to ensure your message is clearly communicated to your audience, and that you have something you feel good putting out into the world. I'll make it cleaner, clearer, and more concise.
I have the knowledge and skills to improve your content.
I can make your text tighter, cleaner, and market appropriate.
With 26 years in publishing, I'm confident I can make what you have better and help you reach your goals.
Background
I started as a fiction editor at Harlequin Books in 2000, where I acquired and edited manuscripts for almost seven years. My focus was primarily acquiring and doing structural and stylistic editing of women's fiction.
I was also senior editor and editorial director with Entangled Publishing from 2011 to 2025. I've worked with writers who are now NYT and USA Today bestselling authors.
I'm highly practiced in works of fiction, children's books, technical and educational material, financial literature, and non-fiction — memoirs, business books, textbooks, and more. I work with many writers who self-publish and understand the unique needs of independent authors.
Manuscript evaluations are a particular strength; I've literally done hundreds. The feedback I provide has properly shaped many people's books.
I have extensive experience as a trade magazine editor. I've managed a Canadian health and wellness magazine, a newsmagazine for veterinarians published by Elsevier Canada, Optical Prism magazine for eyecare professionals, the Food Security issue of Women and Environments International Magazine, and Benefits Canada magazine.
I spent a year working as a health writer for a Canadian publishing company, and handled internal and external communications for the Green Party of Ontario for two years.
I was a member of the EAC Toronto branch executive, served as newsletter chair/editor for the branch newsletter, co-chair/editor for Active Voice (EAC's national newsmagazine), and Marketing and Public Relations co-chair.
