Hello! I'm an adept and reliable editor/writer with several years' worth of experience in creative writing, SEO and content writing, copyediting, line editing, developmental editing, and proofreading. My goal is to eventually end up as the freelance editing/writing equivalent of Kobe Bryant. In other words, someone who is highly efficient, clutch, extremely attentive to detail, and the hardest working! I am a graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University's (formerly Ryerson) journalism program with a minor in English. I've written extensively for the National Post, Bloomberg, The Ryersonian, Yonge Magazine, The EyeOpener, Huffington Post, and several other publications. I also served as head Deputy Editor/Head Copyeditor at The Ryersonian, and for two years I operated as Co-Founder and Executive Editor of Yonge Magazine, a successful online multimedia platform. My short fiction can be found online at STORGY Magazine, in Sixfold's Summer 2023 Issue, and in the Muskeg Press collection of short stories entitled, "Influenced: Stories From the Lockdown." My skills include editing anything and everything (from textbooks to short stories, SEO content to graduate theses), copyediting, copywriting, proofreading, line editing, general/substantive editing, unique fiction writing, ghostwriting, writing editorial content on a variety of topics (film, television, music, sports, food, travel, health, SEO content, etc.), and researching and fact-checking. My main goal on Upwork is to help you create the most polished and creative product imaginable. So, if you're a fiction writer looking to take your manuscript to the next level, a content creator in need of some final last-minute touches on a blog post, or someone who needs an inspired and highly imaginative writer to deliver on some professional editorial/fiction pieces, then I'm the man for the job!

Hi! Welcome to my profile. For more than 30 years, I have been a professional fiction and nonfiction editor and proofreader. In addition to six in-house years with a publisher, I have more than twenty years of freelance experience and have worked with publishers, companies, and writers all over the world. As a Chicago style expert, I edit and proofread fiction (all genres, children's, YA, and adult) and nonfiction (educational and marketing materials, business books, and self-help books). With a strong background in fiction editing, I am--unlike many editors--an expert at dialogue punctuation and paragraph breaks. I edit MS Word documents using track changes, PDF files using Adobe's highlight/note function, and hard copy using the old-fashioned red pen. If you hire me, you'll get a detail- and deadline-oriented editor and proofreader who is easy to work with.

Writing is one of the most solitary and vulnerable things a person can do; and sharing that work with an editor takes courage. I understand that, because I'm a writer too. As a published author, active writing group facilitator, and experienced mentor, I know what it feels like to be on your side of the manuscript. That understanding shapes everything about how I work. I'm a certified proofreader and editor (Level 4 Distinction, College of Media and Publishing, CPD accredited) with over 20 years of English teaching in British and international schools. My background is built on language, literature, and storytelling; and my editorial work is built on the same foundations. Whether you need a developmental edit to untangle a structural problem, a copy edit to sharpen your prose and voice, or a careful proofread before you go to print, I offer a collaborative and thorough service at every stage. I also offer book coaching for writers who want ongoing support from early draft through to finished manuscript, and editorial assessment for those who want a clear, honest overview of where their story stands before committing to a full edit. My genre experience spans fiction and non-fiction: literary fiction, historical fiction, mystery and crime, dark romance, time-slip, coming of age, women's fiction, memoir, travel writing, and film scripts. I have also worked extensively with debut authors and writers producing their first full-length manuscript, guiding them not just through the editorial process, but through the confidence it takes to finish a book. What makes my approach different is genuine engagement. I don't skim for errors, I read your work with the same attention and curiosity I'd give to any book I love. I look for what is working and why, as well as what needs attention and how. My feedback is honest, specific, and always delivered with the writer's intent in mind. Authors often tell me that working with me helped them understand their own story more fully, and that's the outcome I'm always aiming for. I run a busy and well-established writing group in Cádiz, Spain, and regularly hold one-to-one brainstorming sessions with authors to work through plot structure, characterisation, and story arc. That hands-on experience of working with writers at every stage, from scattered first ideas to final manuscript, means I bring practical, real-world insight to every project I take on. Every project is handled personally; no outsourcing, no AI-generated feedback. Just careful, committed editorial work, from a reader who genuinely cares whether your story reaches its full potential. If you're ready to take your manuscript to the next level, I'd love to hear from you. Your best draft is waiting for you. 'Working with Helen was an integral part of the book’s journey. Knowing that someone was so committed to the book made the entire process stronger and more focused.' Karen Pritchard: A Dance Through Time.

I have successfully supported: Q1 journal publications MS, PhD theses, and dissertations NSF and international grant proposals Reviewer-response and resubmission cycles I work with precision, ethics, and a reviewer’s mindset — not generic proofreading. 🔬 What I Do ✔ Thesis & Dissertation Editing: I work through supervisor feedback systematically — fixing logic gaps, argument flow, grammar, and structure.

I fix the argument. I bring a reviewer's eye to every document, catching not just language issues but also logical gaps, weak justifications, and structural problems that lead to desk rejections.
