About Editing

Proper editing can improve your writing, making it more concise, professional, and polished. Editing facilitates communication – your message will be conveyed more clearly when your writing is a pleasure to read and easy to understand.

I can

• check your writing for proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and word usage
• note inconsistencies and omissions
• make stylistic changes to increase clarity and readability
• eliminate unnecessary verbiage and jargon
• suggest structural changes to enhance the logical progression of information

About Me

Hi! Welcome to my web site. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Toronto, where I studied English, Creative Writing, French, Psychology, and Sociology.

I have several years of experience working as a writer and editor, and regularly update my skills through the Editors' Association of Canada seminars.

Some of my recent projects include:

• writing and editing copy for web sites and brochures, including promotional copy for small business owners
  
  
• writing and editing for the Toronto Free-Net – primarily communications to members and grant proposals
  
  
• editing and proofreading for the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation
  
  
• providing copy editing services for ESL clients for a wide variety of projects
  
  
• writing articles for newsletters
  
  
• providing editing and proofreading support to a magazine editor
  
  
• editing biographical materials and magazine articles
  
  
• copy editing for graduate students

Rates

My rates vary depending on the project. I offer a free quote and a sample edit.
