Editing

I have worked as a professional editor for more than thirty years. My clients are from industry and education as well as private enterprise. I work to a high degree of accuracy and my rates are competitive, based on the level of editing required. For example, my rate for proofreading a document is lower than that for substantive/structural editing, stylistic editing, or copy editing. For complex projects, all of the above levels of editing may be required. I also have experience editing novels and life writing narratives.

Three novels I recently edited -- Return of the Jaguar by Norm Cuddy, and Mariposa Intersections and Folly Bistro by Bruno Huber -- are now available for purchase at Granville Island Publishing. Return of the Jaguar is also available for purchase through the website returnofthejaguar.com or at Amazon.ca. Now available on Amazon, too, is Doug McLeod's collection of heartwarming stories about living and teaching in the Kispiox Valley back in the 70s: On the Edge of Wilderness: Tales from Hazelton and the Kispiox Valley.

Available through Barnes & Noble is Timothy Bottoms' jewel of a memoir, The Pier, which I am proud to have edited. It's the story of a little boy spending a day fishing off the pier in Santa Barbara in more innocent times, the 1950s.
