Hello! I’m Kaila (she/her). As a trained poetry and picture book editor, my goal is always to have my clients walk away more in love with their projects than they were before. Editing with care, respect, and open dialogue, I help writers feel confident in putting their work out into the world.

Whether or not you plan on publishing, we’ll get your words to a level ready for print. For poetry, I offer edits on individual poems as well as collections with: - Developmental editing - Copy editing (including line editing) - Proofreading - Collection organization, where I help determine what poems should be included and in what order For picture books, I offer edits on stories for children aged 3-8 with: - Developmental editing (if a rhyming book, structure gets looked at here) - Copy editing (including line editing) - Proofreading I’m a member of Editors Canada and hold a B.A. in English from the University of Ottawa. For further education, see “Certifications” and “Other Experiences” below. Please note, I edit with Microsoft Word and hold regular business hours (EST). I can’t wait to work with you!

I’m an Canadian copy editor and writer splitting my time between Edmonton and the Ottawa of Canada. My expertise as an editor is in nonfiction, and my clients look to me for guidance on book-length manuscripts, white papers, journal articles, press releases, statements of purpose, cover letters, grant proposals, personal essays, newsletters, blog copy, and website content. I have particular experience working with texts that have been translated or written by non-native speakers of English. I've got a fine eye for punctuation problems and grammar mistakes, and a keen ear for awkwardness and usage issues. Along with my well-thumbed reference books I bring a writer's instincts to the table—both in terms of the flow of the prose and in terms of my approach to the client as a fellow-writer with a voice to be respected, whatever coaching and coaxing I might give. If I point out a problem, I take the time to propose an elegant solution. My BA from Canadian University is in literature and writing, and I have a copyediting professional degree from the University.
