Hire the Best Fiction Writers
in Canada

Whether you're writing your first book or your tenth, I'm here to help you turn your manuscript into a polished, professional, publishable work—and guide you through every step of getting it into readers' hands. For the past eight years, I've worked with authors across genres and formats: fiction writers building historical novels, romantasy, middle-grade fantasy, and contemporary romance; non-fiction authors creating workbooks, memoirs, and thought-leadership books; and creatives designing custom journals and guided writing resources. No matter what you're working on, my goal is the same: to help you create something you're proud of—something that looks great, reads flawlessly, and connects with your audience. A Note on AI: All editing, writing, and design work is done by me personally—no AI tools are used in the editorial or creative process. When you work with me, you're getting a human eye, human judgment, and a genuine understanding of your voice and story. My Services Include: Developmental Editing I refine story structure, pacing, tone, and style while preserving your voice. For fiction, I strengthen character depth, dialogue, and plot consistency (I love a well-placed twist!). For non-fiction, I clarify flow, argument, and reader engagement. Line Editing Once the structure is solid, I work sentence by sentence—sharpening word choice, rhythm, and clarity so your prose reads smoothly and consistently from page to page, without losing your voice. Book Coaching & Publishing Guidance– Confused about whether to self-publish or go traditional? Not sure how to navigate Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or Barnes & Noble Press? I'll walk you through your options step-by-step via video call, helping you choose the publishing route that's right for your goals, timeline, and budget. Typesetting / Interior Layout Design – Professionally formatted interiors ready for print and digital distribution—clean, readable, and tailored to your genre. Whether it's a novel, a workbook, or a guided journal, I make sure your book looks as good as it reads. Custom Cover Design– Eye-catching, market-ready covers that attract your ideal readers. Designed using Canva, InDesign, and other professional tools—always print- and upload-ready. Book Proposal & Query Letter Writing– If you're seeking a traditional publishing deal, I'll write a standout book proposal and query letter package that aligns with publisher expectations and showcases your book's unique hook. Publishing Process Management– From manuscript finalization to distribution setup, I can manage the logistics of self-publishing so you can focus on writing and marketing your book. What You Can Expect: I start by reviewing a sample of your manuscript or project so I can tailor my approach to what you need. I provide a detailed quote and timeline—and then dive right in. You'll receive clear, constructive feedback directly in your manuscript, plus an Editor's Report summarizing key insights and recommendations. Need help implementing changes or making publishing decisions? I also offer video consultations where we brainstorm edits, rework chapters, discuss cover design, compare publishing platforms, and build your launch strategy. So, why should you want to work with me? As a published author and experienced editor, I understand how personal and emotional the writing journey can be. My approach is collaborative, encouraging, and always focused on helping your book reach its fullest potential—without ever losing your voice. Whether you're polishing a sci-fi thriller, designing a self-care workbook, formatting a romance series for KDP, or trying to figure out if traditional publishing is right for you, I'm here to make the process not just achievable, but enjoyable. Let's get started! I'm open for consultations!

I write words that tell your non-fiction story. If you don't have the time or the ability to do that, I can help. I don't work in hourly rates, so don't assume that hiring me means writing me a blank cheque. You'll know exactly what it will cost, and I'll show you how much it will be worth to you. I've demonstrated hundreds of thousands of dollars in value to my clients. You could be next. By the way, I have a dream to write a book similar in style to David Blaine's book in 2002 that leads to a hidden treasure. If that interests you, I would work for free with you. It's as simple as that. If you have a non-fiction story to tell, a feature you want to brag about, or a goal in mind, and you want actual humans to read, enjoy, and take a specific action, let's chat. Feel free to ask about my incredible family pancake recipe as well. I won't give it to you, but you can always ask. It's pretty amazing.
