You wrote a thing.

Maybe it’s an ebook, or a grant, or a fellowship application. Or maybe it’s your doctoral dissertation or a research paper you plan to submit to a journal. You need it to look its best, with every argument supported and each citation formatted exactly the way your style guide requires.

I’ll help you finesse the details and add the final bit of polish that’ll make your writing shine.

I’m a freelance editor with 13+ years of professional experience, though unofficially, it’s been much longer. (For example, I’ve been editing my own last name for as long as I can remember.)

I edit a wide range of nonfiction, from books to brand copy to blog posts to research proposals. I've supported authors, scientists, and NGOs to share their stories, advice, and research with the world. I’ve worked on subject matter including health policy, environmental science, sex and relationships, real estate, personal finance, mental health, and more, and I have a soft spot for scientific work and anything related to the outdoors.

Big words and technical concepts don’t scare me. While I’m not going to check your science, I can help you make a compelling argument, maintain a consistent voice, and nail your required formatting.

I’m fluent in AP, APA, CMOS, and CP styles, and I’m comfortable working with in-house and university style guides.

1. If my nose isn’t in a book, I’m probably in the woods.

2. I love the colour orange. This might be because I’m a Tiger.

3. I’m Canadian, in case the “u” in “colour” didn’t tip you off. But I lived in the U.S. for about eight years, so I’m fluent in American, too.

4. And French.
