Editorial services for academics, authors, and educational & public interest organizations.
Careful editing for thoughtful writing.
Whatever story you want to tell, idea you want to share, or message you want to deliver, working with an editor will elevate the clarity, structure, and impact of your writing. That could mean refining a research paper for peer review, preparing a grant proposal, or shaping your manuscript for publication.
In recent years, I’ve focused increasingly on academic editing—helping scholars and researchers develop and polish a wide range of work, including:
peer-reviewed journal articles
graduate theses and dissertations
SSHRC/CIHR grant proposals
policy reports and white papers
tenure and promotion materials
academic presentations and educational media
My experience spans disciplines such as Indigenous studies, environmental science, political science, health research, business, and creative writing. I’ve worked with faculty, graduate students, and research teams across Canada, including at the University of Saskatchewan, University of Victoria, and University of Manitoba.
Beyond academia, I’ve edited public-facing content and publications for nonprofit, governmental, and research-based organizations, including the Royal Society of Canada, Canadian Centre for the Study of Co-operatives, and Justice for Girls.
Whether you're preparing a manuscript for submission or seeking guidance before a second draft, I offer structural editing, stylistic editing, and copy editing—as well as consultations tailored to your goals, audience, and timeline.
As your editor, I’ll work closely with you to bring your ideas into focus—and get your work ready for its readers.
