I have over ten years of experience as a freelance fiction editor under the name The Indie Editor and have the pleasure of working with not only bestselling independent authors in the U.S. and Canada but also Penguin Random House Canada. I offer substantive editing, stylistic editing, copyediting, and proofreading. I have taught writing and revision seminars both in person and online for organizations such as Toronto Romance Writers, Ottawa Romance Writers, the Toronto Public Library, and the University of Guelph Writers Workshop. I have a BA in French and German language and literature from the University of Toronto and a Publishing Certificate from Toronto Metropolitan University. Im also a writer, and Im represented by Rena Rossner of the Deborah Harris Agency. I understand the challenges of the publishing journey because Im on that journey myself.My approach to editing is kind, encouraging, collaborative, and leaves you with easy-to-apply advice. Im definitely not a mean lady with a red pen! I love my job!
