Don’t Let your Documents go out the Door without Expert Editing
I have edited projects in many fields, from entire websites to academic books, to short and long fiction, to business and educational materials. I’m a certified editor and am a past member of the Editors’ Association of Canada.
If your first language is not English, you have come to the right place. I have worked with a great many people to help bring their text in line with proper, understandable English. My studies of Russian, German, French, and classical Hebrew in university have sharpened my grammatical skills and increased my ability to recognize and produce sound writing.
