Hire the Best Copy Editors in Toronto, ON

Hello! I'm an adept and reliable editor/writer with several years' worth of experience in creative writing, SEO and content writing, copyediting, line editing, developmental editing, and proofreading. My goal is to eventually end up as the freelance editing/writing equivalent of Kobe Bryant. In other words, someone who is highly efficient, clutch, extremely attentive to detail, and the hardest working! I am a graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University's (formerly Ryerson) journalism program with a minor in English. I've written extensively for the National Post, Bloomberg, The Ryersonian, Yonge Magazine, The EyeOpener, Huffington Post, and several other publications. I also served as head Deputy Editor/Head Copyeditor at The Ryersonian, and for two years I operated as Co-Founder and Executive Editor of Yonge Magazine, a successful online multimedia platform. My short fiction can be found online at STORGY Magazine, in Sixfold's Summer 2023 Issue, and in the Muskeg Press collection of short stories entitled, "Influenced: Stories From the Lockdown." My skills include editing anything and everything (from textbooks to short stories, SEO content to graduate theses), copyediting, copywriting, proofreading, line editing, general/substantive editing, unique fiction writing, ghostwriting, writing editorial content on a variety of topics (film, television, music, sports, food, travel, health, SEO content, etc.), and researching and fact-checking. My main goal on Upwork is to help you create the most polished and creative product imaginable. So, if you're a fiction writer looking to take your manuscript to the next level, a content creator in need of some final last-minute touches on a blog post, or someone who needs an inspired and highly imaginative writer to deliver on some professional editorial/fiction pieces, then I'm the man for the job!
