Ceileigh Mangalam – Editor

Vancouver-based freelance editor of contemporary fiction, sci fi/fantasy, and romance.

Overview

I've been a freelance editor in Vancouver for ten years and I specialize in structural/developmental editing for fiction (though I also provide copy editing services). Primarily, I like to work on contemporary fiction and fantasy, but I'm also looking for fresh sci fi and romance narratives. Send me your genre fiction novels; I'd love to work on them with you!
