About Me<\/span><\/span><\/h1>

I hold a doctorate in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford and have 25 years of experience editing a diverse variety of materials in numerous genres. I am eclectic in my interests and comfortable with a very wide range of subjects in the humanities and sciences. In addition to non-fiction projects, I enjoy working on fiction for adults, young adults, and children.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

In 2017, I received the Tom Fairley Award<\/a>, which recognizes Canada’s top editor and the recipient’s contribution to a work published in Canada, in my case, the critically acclaimed book Charles Gretton: Clock and Watchmaking Through the Golden Age<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was invited in 2021 to become the language editor for eScience<\/a>, an international journal publishing peer-reviewed scientific and technological research in interdisciplinary fields related to energy, electrochemistry, electronics, and the environment.<\/p>\n

I have also been an active member of Editors Canada since 2005, serving on provincial and national executives and co-developing exams in all four subject areas of the professional certification program<\/a>. In 2020, I joined the organization’s roster of webinar<\/a> presenters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
