As an LGBT+ editor and writer, I know the power of words. I help writers like you make your writing kinder for your readers, whether that means fixing grammatical errors that could trip up your reader, or ensuring all language is inclusive. I have a BA from Dal, majoring in English and Creative Writing with a minor in Classics. I am currently enrolled in SFU’s Certificate of Editing. I live in Halifax, use she/her pronouns, and am a bi ace member of the LGBT+ community.
I am a writer and editor based out of Halifax. I have a background in creative writing and journalism, with a BA from the University of King’s College and additional editing training completed through Ryerson University. I have a deep fondness for the imaginative elements of poetry and genre fiction, but I also relish the learning opportunities present in nonfiction projects (history books, memoirs, articles and more). If you have a story to tell, I want to hear from you.
Math, math, and more math. Elementary, high school, and college mathematics textbooks: I edit them all, at all stages of the process.

I have a degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of Waterloo, as well as a Book and Magazine Publishing Diploma from Centennial College.

I am an experienced academic/nonfiction editor specializing in works that engage critically with social and political issues, such as racism, anti-Black racism, colonialism, white supremacy, gender and sexuality, and poverty.

Whatever you’re writing, I focus on helping you build strong, convincing arguments that are expressed clearly and passionately.
I am an economist and academic editor with ten years’ experience assisting clients in preparing their manuscripts for publication as books or in journals or for submission to academic committees. These clients are mainly non-native English speakers who are researchers and/or university lecturers.

Having a PhD in English from Cambridge and decades of experience, I am a careful reader and writer, equally attentive to precision and nuance in thought and expression. Words can be slippery. Writing can be fuzzy. Except in poetry and fiction, ambiguity can be tiring, if not downright irritating. As an editor, I approach all writing from the dual perspective of the author and the reader. I can help bridge the gap between authors and readers, refining the language to facilitate communication.
