    This is your one stop profile for everything writing! Whether you’re a business owner, blogger, or simply anyone who needs anything written, I can provide you with quality material under a short timeframe. In today’s world where there is immense competition for people’s attention, you need a strong material that is catchy to grab attention, and quality enough to hold your audience for the duration of the piece. I am a generalist writer- yes, I just used one of the most scorned words out there, ‘Generalist’, but really, what this means is that I have had the opportunity of writing across various niches and this experience has taught me how to undertake any writing project and successfully deliver. Because today’s information race is also a game of algorithms, I have undertaken training (that has proven worthwhile in my career, I should add) under Search Engine Optimization so that I know the best practices to give you an edge over your competitors or simply, get your work to more eyes as the case maybe. I am open to work and if you need me, I believe there an option somewhere in this page to help you contact me. As always, I'm at your service.

    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.
