Editing
I’m a book editor with over 20 years of experience. I’ve had the great fortune of both editing and learning from some of Canada’s best-loved authors, working in-house (Gaspereau Press, Nimbus Publishing, and TouchWood Editions) and as a freelancer. Based in Victoria, British Columbia, I provide editorial services to writers and publishers. I would love to talk to you about your project!
My portfolio includes a Giller Prize-winning novel (Johanna Skibsrud’s The Sentimentalists), nominees and winners of several regional and national book awards, and many well-reviewed titles. I keep an updated list of book projects here.
Reviewing
I review books for journals like The Fiddlehead and The Malahat Review. A list of published reviews can be found here.
Poetry
I also write poems. Though this website is primarily home to my editing work, I do occasionally post about my own publications. I’ve had work published in numerous literary journals including The Malahat Review, Maisonneuve, The Fiddlehead, Grain, Prism International, and Ryga, and my poems have twice been selected for the annual anthology The Best Canadian Poetry in English.
