    I have been writing for the past five years, both freelance and full-time. Currently, I am a freelance ghostwriter for a publishing company in Canada. I also previously held a short-term contract with Opera News as a content creator, which gave me free rein to write on any topic; I focused on the Covid-19 pandemic and world news. Photography is another one of my passions, which I have been doing for over four years. I am a highly creative individual and enjoy using words and art to express myself and utilize my love of creativity as my motivation. To date, I have helped write seven eBooks and worked in the marketing industry, writing sales content for companies like Suzuki, Opel, and Isuzu. I'm fun to work with and enjoy collaborating with others to create the perfect piece. After five years of working in the creative industry, I have learned various styles and techniques that aid my writing.

    My primary talent is for spotting errors in the written word. Even when I'm not trying - just reading for pleasure - I will pick up the tiniest of mistakes. If required, I can do the bare minimum - simply ensure that there are no errors in the copy - but I am proud of my ability to take another person's writing and make it more readable, easier to understand. I make sure that there is consistency in style (eg, American vs British English, the use of capitalisation, etc), even in very long documents. A mistake in publicity material, whether printed or online, sends out a very poor message about that organisation. Let me make sure your documents are perfect!

    I'm an experienced line and copy editor and proofreader in the areas of fiction, non-fiction, and memoir. I would like to make your editing experience something to enjoy because I'm a published author in my own right, and I know the editing process can be frustrating and even intimidating. I have worked with authors submitting manuscripts for traditional publishing and those who are self-publishing. Depending on what you need, I follow either U.S. English or British English style conventions. Over the years, I've edited in a number of genres, including epic fantasy, space opera, horror, sweet romance, dark romance, transgender romance, memoir, men's and women's self-help and motivation, and academic texts. • My aim is to work with you as a team and build a relationship of respect, trust, and encouragement. • My passion is to smooth your manuscript into its best version through several stages and levels of editing while preserving your unique voice. • I believe in giving reasons for my edits so you can make educated decisions about whether to accept or query suggestions and even learn from the experience for the future. • I edit and proofread in both Google Docs and Microsoft Word. • For U.S. English, I defer to The Chicago Manual of Style and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. With British English, I usually consult New Hart's Rules and the Oxford Dictionary. However, I do both with your voice in mind and the flexibility that comes with my experience. • I'll gladly do a free sample edit of a portion of your manuscript before you commit. We would be an excellent fit if: • you're an author wanting to have your manuscript professionally line edited, copy edited, and/or proofread before you self-publish or as a requirement before approaching or being accepted by a traditional publisher; • you're a traditional publisher looking for a reliable and competent line editor, copy editor, and/or proofreader; • your book is to be published in either U.S. or British English; • you're uncomfortable about—or even dreading—entrusting your manuscript to someone else for assessment and editing; or • you'd like a free sample edit done before you commit. Message me with your genre, word count, the kind of editing you're looking for, and your timeline. We'll take it from there!
