Overview
I have worked in the publishing industry for twenty-seven years. I have worked in-house on award-winning children's and adult fiction and nonfiction and now also assist authors with self-publishing. My service is attentive, knowledgeable, and known to be friendly and responsive. My career began in 1998 with a small children's press. We later branched out into literary and crime fiction. Our crime fiction imprint was very successful, winning Canada's top crime fiction honor several times. Our children's fiction was shortlisted for many awards. Upon the sale of that company to a larger one, I continued in my senior editor role before starting to work freelance in 2013. My knowledge extends to every aspect of the publishing process. I am also a long-time fantasy and sci-fi reader, fan, writer, and editor.
