Bio

I currently work as a freelance editor, specializing in developmental editing and line editing for fiction and creative nonfiction. I also edit corporate texts and medical news, helping journalists structure news and features articles on complex and often technical topics.

I am a founding editor and previous editor-in-chief and creative nonfiction editor of the literary magazine carte blanche. I also worked for 10 years on literary projects for CBC Radio, including as an editor for Canada Writes. I was co-producer of the true story storytelling series This Really Happened and have taught workshops on storytelling.

Services Offered

I offer a range of editorial services including ongoing coaching and mentoring, developmental and line editing, idea development, manuscript critiques, and reading suggestions.

Special Interests

Literary fiction (short stories and novels), mystery, science fiction, memoir, personal essay, and literary journalism.
