Overview
I'm Olivia, your freelance writer, editor and communications specialist. I'm a journalist by trade and have diverse experience working in non-profit and corporate organizations. I have 5+ years of editing and publishing experience in digital marketing, newsrooms and self-publishing.
Currently, I am specializing in editing non-fiction for entrepreneurs and business leaders. However, I also have experience editing fiction and poetry, so I accept projects in all genres!
I firmly believe that books have the power to change the world! I also have an innate passion for the written word and strong storytelling.
I have worked on a diversity of books from topics such as leadership and delegation, to Canadian poetry collections and travelling with your dog! Working with me is fun, straightforward, and professional. Send me your manuscript and I'll send it back publish-ready. No overbearing back and forth emails, just excellent editing service. I always offer a free consultation and sample edit to each of my new clients with no obligation.
My services vary, including:
- Developmental and structural editing,
- Copyediting,
- Proofreading,
- Ghostwriting, and
- Book coaching.
In my free time, I love to read, hike, and spend time with my dog. I can't wait to work together on your next book that is "bound" to change the world!
