Welcome to my editing portfolio.
My editing portfolio is diverse and extensive. As a copy editor, stylistic editor, and proofreader, I work with a variety self-publishing authors and clients/organizations on a diverse portfolio of fiction and non-fiction projects. These include novels, short stories, articles, web copy, company branding, personal branding, blogs, and more.
Fiction and non-fiction editing
In fiction, I focus on genre fiction (science fiction, horror, thriller, mystery, and romance/queer romance) and literary fiction. Additionally, in non-fiction, I specialize in plain language, inclusive language, and accessibility.

Copy Editing and Editing-Related Writing Portfolio
During my years as a freelance editor, my editing portfolio has become incredibly diverse. Despite this, I consider myself something of a specialist as opposed to a generalist.
Although I work with a variety of clients, I specialize in certain editing niches, such as romance, science fiction, mystery, and thriller, and horror in fiction.
Additionally, I enjoy work on and have extensive experience in plain language, inclusive language, and accessibility. While these specific niches often apply to non-fiction editing, I also have worked on fiction projects in which I applied these skills.
Some of my latest copy editing and editing-related writing can be found in BoldFace Blog—the official blog of Editors Toronto and The Editors’ Weekly—the official blog of Editors Canada.
