Gillian Rodgerson – Editor

I have been a senior editor at Insomniac Press in Toronto and the Managing Editor at Second Story feminist press, and now I specialize in literary fiction, mysteries, and memoirs. I work on a lot of LGBTQ books, although every writer will find me conscientious, constructive, and committed to protecting your individual voice.

I freelance as an editor, copy editor, proofreader, and manuscript evaluator. I love crime fiction and I'm one of only two editor members of Crime Writers of Canada.

I also teach trade fiction editing, online and in the classroom, in the post-graduate Publishing Certificate Program through the G. Raymond Chang School at Toronto Metropolitan University.

A bit about my background: after the School of Experiential Education (SEE) and religious studies at the University of Waterloo, I joined the collective of The Body Politic, Canada's gay liberation newspaper, and edited Capital Gay newspaper and Diva magazine in London, England. As a journalist, I have contributed to BBC radio and television, and programs for Britain's Channel 4.

In the 1980s, I was a founder member of Feminists Against Censorship and, with Elizabeth Wilson, edited the anthology Pornography and Feminism: the case against censorship.

Currently, I am a member of the Board of Directors of Pink Triangle Press.
