I offer a variety of editing services that tailor to my strengths, which include: beta reading, proofreading, copy editing, and developmental editing for non-fiction novels, journal manuscripts, post-secondary academic literature, research articles, personal statements, social media content, marketing material, visual presentations, video subtitles, and press releases. I am a Native English speaker from Canada who is fluent in American, Canadian, and British written English. The smörgåsbord of services that I offer is reflective of my experiences—both personal and professional. For years, I have eagerly taken on writing, proofreading, and editing roles. As an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, I edited, proofread, and provided feedback accompanied with a letter grade on approximately 60 papers per week. As a Coordinator for a community service organization, I created a plethora of marketing materials, which included press releases. Not to mention the extensive Post-Mortem Reports and Final Reports with statistical consolidation due at the end of each project. As the Marketing Lead for an organic kombucha company, I created retail sales sheets, business cards, infographics, and other marketing materials to promote the small business. Finally, as an Editor I have had the privilege of working with many kinds of creatives and their unique writing styles. My favourite projects are self-published, non-fiction novels and academic journal manuscripts on their way to publishing. When I am not working, I like to volunteer, read, practice yoga, travel, bake, cook whole food and plant-based meals, hike, and read some more! My passions are lifelong learning, holistic wellness, trauma-informed living, social connectedness, personal and spiritual development, and structural reform. Although I list services above, I am open to other inquiries as well. FAQs: - I happily work with ESL writers. - I work closely with style guides and am confident when following the specifications of the relevant publishing company. The specific style guide needed for your project (if applicable) will be discussed in our initial conversation. - I prefer manuscripts in the following formats: .Docx, a live Google Drive document, the backend of WordPress, or PDF (in that order). I am open to considering other formats (i.e. GitHub) for special scenarios. - I do not research. - I do not fact check. - I do not check for plagiarism. - I do not use AI to write or edit. Please reach out with any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you :)Non-Fiction Writing

As a native English speaker with a Master's degree in English, I am a professional editor, proofreader and copywriter. I am a writing specialist who will turn out error-free English copy. I am a copywriter that has studied the great copywriters like Gary Halbert, Eugene Schwartz, John Carlton, Joeseph Sugarman and so much more... but you would expect that from someone offering you his services as a copywriter. It's simply the foundation that any copywriter needs. Even though I've studied all of the 'techniques' to write great Ad Copy... It's simply NOT ENOUGH! I dig deep into the mind of your customer and find out things that other copywriters simply don't do because it takes "too much work". I focus on getting into the mind of the customer and writing specifically for them so that when they read your sales copy, your product becomes the only option.Non-Fiction Writing

I am a current undergraduate honors student at the University of Toronto that is majoring in Human Biology, and minoring in Physiology and Immunology, with aspirations for medical school. As a University of Toronto student, I have written a plethora of lab reports, annotated bibliographies, and research papers. Aside from my academics, I consider myself a maverick that has a variety of interests. From chess and weightlifting to whiskey and coffee to politics and philosophy, my breadth of knowledge is diverse. Being from a small 36 square mile island in the Caribbean that is half French and half Dutch, I have a unique lived experience which is reflected in my writing. I am a frequent traveler that has been to all corners of the world, and I have an immense appreciation for all cultures. As a former teen writer for the Daily Herald, our national newspaper, I have experience writing completely objective articles, op-eds, and even reviews for movies and TV shows. My time writing for the newspaper has given me insight into the different types of writing styles required for different topics and industries. I have also worked in the service industry, sales, and spend a good portion of my time volunteering for various causes and organizations. I hope this overview indicates to you that I am a competent academic, content, and creative writer.Non-Fiction Writing
