Editors help you clarify, reorganize, streamline, rephrase, fine-tune, and shine. A good editor conveys your ideas to your audience seamlessly and effectively.
I follow the Professional Editorial Standards set out by Editors Canada, and I offer the following editing services:
Editorial Management/Project Editing
Managing an ongoing project (e.g., journal or other periodical) or coordinating a project (e.g., nonfiction book or report) from an initial proposal or draft through to the final manuscript, which typically includes working with multiple authors and other stakeholders.
Structural/Substantive Editing
Clarifying and reorganizing a manuscript for content and structure, which may include cutting, rewriting, or moving sections so the manuscript follows a logical flow.
Stylistic Editing
Ensuring that meaning is clear, removing jargon, polishing sentence structure, and ensuring language is appropriate for the target audience. May include rewriting content in plain language and applying bias-free language.
Copy Editing
Ensuring that grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other mechanics of style are correct; ensuring consistency of mechanics and facts. May include applying a specific style guide to a manuscript and formatting headings, tables, references, and so on.
Writers make your communication dynamic, professional, and compelling. A good writer helps you say what you mean clearly and concisely.
