Overview
Hello, I'm Jennifer, a professional proofreader and experienced copyeditor. My deep love for the written word allows me to know when to apply the rules, but I also know how and when to break them to serve the story! Let’s work together to refine your narrative and charm your readers.
Here’s what I offer clients:
- A Tailored Approach: Your voice and vision are unique, and you deserve an editor who understands that. My feedback focuses on your strengths. Any changes I recommend are for clarity, or meant to enhance the story and characters.
- A Collaborative Process: Editing is a journey, where your ideas meet my editorial expertise, and we share the goal of creating a book that captivates readers. This is why I provide after-editing support in the form of video chat or in-depth emails.
- Proven Knowledge & Expertise: I am a Certified Proofreader via Editors Canada, and a member of both ACES: The Society for Editing and the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA). With 17 years of experience, I have gained a reputation as an editor with a keen eye for detail, and my clear and compassionate communication style is often noted by clients.
- A Reader's Perspective: I've loved reading for as long as I can remember. I know what makes readers tick, and takes them out of a story. My edits will help ensure your readers connect with your words the way you want!
Embark on the final stretch of your publishing adventure with a guide who understands the nuances of storytelling and the intricacies of editing. Contact me today and step with confidence towards publishing success!

What Clients Say...
"Jennifer is the rare editor who checks her ego at the door, realizing that it’s the author’s voice that must be enhanced, not her own. Every aspect of her editorial efforts serves the writing. She’s absolutely committed to making the work the best it can be, in the style and voice of the author. ... Nothing can replace the feeling of confidence in self-publishing your work, and knowing that it’s as perfect as it can be. And in my case, that’s solely because of what Jennifer brought to the table.”
— Tobin Elliott, author of "The Aphotic" series
“Jennifer is a consistent and detailed editor. She is a consummate professional and communicates well with authors and publishers alike. Her queries are considered and well-formed, and she picks up on changes a less-experienced editor would overlook.”
— Blake Sproule, editor at Playwrights Canada Press
“Jennifer is not only a fabulous editor, but she's also pleasure to work with. She is professional and prompt, and generous with her knowledge and feedback. It’s clearly evident that she is passionate and meticulous about her work, and I would happily work with her again.”
