    Nice to meet you, my name is Zoe! I am a native English speaker from Canada, where I obtained a degree in sociology with distinction from the University of Alberta. As a freelancer, I specialize in professional editing and proofreading. I am a meticulous copyeditor and a self-motivated content-enhancer; I take pride in ensuring that client projects are seamless before leaving my hands. Editing at an average rate of 1000-1500 words per hour and proofreading at 3000-4000 words per hour, I offer quick turnaround times; however, my editing strategies leave no stone unturned. An early interest in journaling and storytelling as a child led me to pursue my dreams of being a writer in adulthood. Throughout my life I have taken every opportunity to improve my writing; as a result, I developed a firm grasp of the English language, including the proper uses of syntax, grammar, and the nuances of tone. Nothing makes me happier than utilizing my skills to create fresh content that is perfectly tailored to each client. I look forward to connecting with you and learning about your project.

    I am a creative writer and an MFA graduate from the University of British Columbia, where I specialized in writing fiction. Currently, I work in online safety course development, where I balance creativity and engagement with technical communication. I have also worked as an EdX Program Assistant for the UBC School of Creative Writing, where I supported global learners through the online platform. My core competencies include writing, rewriting, editing, intercultural communication, and research. As an EdX Program Assistant, I composed weekly podcast scripts where I collated examples of student responses and questions about the craft of writing for the instructors.

I enjoyed working with diverse and enthusiastic learners from different backgrounds and cultures, and I learned a lot from their perspectives and feedback.

    It's the people that drive an organization forward. The people that bring forth ideas, create a workplace culture, and build the very foundation of a successful business. As such, an organization is at its strongest when it is focusing on the wellbeing of its people and creating a healthy workplace culture. HR has shifted from the traditional administrative role to creating innovative practices revolving around how to best support employees and management in achieving an organization's strategic objectives. Having received my BBA with Honors, majoring in Human Resource Management, I am an energetic and passionate HR professional who loves her craft and at her core wants to see people succeed. A true generalist, I have theoretical and practical knowledge in a variety of HR functions including employee relations & engagement, recruitment, compensation, performance management, training and development, policy/program development, as well as diversity and inclusion. I'm an avid learner and am constantly looking to advance my knowledge in my field. Have an HR-related question? Want to impart some wisdom? In either case, I'd love to connect!

    She/Her. Always ready to work, fast to respond, and beyond thorough! Editor, writer, humanist: I'm Parker Nystrom. Not only is English my first language, but I study it profusely, practically, and professionally. Writing is my life's work, there's no question. For the past decade, I've been diligently developing a dozen personal projects ranging from full-length novels to spec scripts. My Mission: I strive to always deliver a clean and crisp final draft. While providing the highest standard of service and communication, I pride myself on being as supportive, constructive, communicative, and uplifting as possible, especially regarding other people's art. How I Edit: I am always looking for new projects. I'm wildly communicative, breakneck fast, and line-by-line detail devoted. As a creative writer myself, I enjoy playing with syntax to make the story pop. For me, it's not just what the story has to say—but how they say it, how that choice reflects the intentions of the piece, and why the author feels so deeply about the subject. I can edit about 20,000-30,000 in a day, if necessary. My Background: I've been writing for nearly 20 years. An artist in many disciplines from sketching, painting/mixed media, design, and composition, to video editing, music, and flash animation--I've worked in almost every medium. Over the summers, I would write between 30,000 and 200,000 romance, fantasy, drama, and YA novels, just to keep my mind fresh. I completed my BA in English from the University of Alberta in 2020, and was able to select several courses specifically studying CRT, human behavior, feminism, social justice, philosophy, and media and culture studies. What I've Done: I've recently edited many self-help books in the subjects of habit-forming, self-care, motivation, physical health, and mental health. I am comfortable at all levels of editing, from simple grammar, punctuation, formatting, and tense agreement, to providing detailed feedback on style, flow, content, and overarching themes. For this, I keep a very detailed feedback model in mind; one that I learned by participating in collaborative university writing workshops. I found that I flourish in opportunities to help other writers become more comfortable with their craft. Who I Am: I enjoy writing, graphic design, digital art, singing, producing music, keeping fit, and teaching kids how to read and learn. I also love American Football! Both playing and watching. My main focus has been finishing my first full-length movie script about a queer musician, and an episodic series about a co-ed football team. Niches I Love: I enjoy reading and revising: young adult fiction, romance, drama, LGBTQ+, scripts, academic papers, self-help/realization, fantasy/large world development (high fantasy), and political articles. As an openly queer woman, I am completely comfortable discussing mixed or same-gender romance, intimacy, or erotica.

    I'm currently an English student at the University of Alberta and I hope to use my degree to become an author or work with a publishing company. My greatest passion in writing is fiction, specifically sci-fi and fantasy, and I do my best and more complex work within these genres. That said I am also proficient at academic writing, from essays to literary syntheses. I'm also very detail orientated when it comes to proofreading and editing.
