I focus on serious non-fiction, working with academics, nonprofits, and small publishers to produce stellar copy. Ultimately, I'm a storyteller and a justice-seeker who gets excited about how stories can help us live more just lives, with each other and the planet.
I offer a full gamut of editing services, including copy editing, stylistic editing, substantive editing, and rewriting. Indexing and reference checking services are also available. If you aren't sure what type of editing you require, I can make recommendations based on a writing sample.
If you're interested in working with me, kindly send me a sample of your writing, the type of editing you require, and your deadline for the completion of the editing work. Within 24 hours, I will provide you with an editing sample as well as an estimated fee for your project.
Normally, I edit documents through Track Changes in Microsoft Word. However, I can also work with a multitude of editing tools and applications, including InDesign.

Praise
"Julie is an excellent editor who helped me refine my manuscript and bring out my own voice even more clearly. As she approached my work, she listened to and addressed my needs, while simultaneously providing her own independent and professional judgment with clarity and encouragement. Her attention to detail was just what I needed to complete my work."
– John Borrows, Loveland Chair in Indigenous Law, University of Toronto Faculty of Law
"I want to stress what a positive and rewarding experience this has been for me. If I hadn't contacted you for your editorial services, my paper would probably still be sitting on my computer, untouched and unread. I wanted to convert the paper into an article, but I felt overwhelmed and uncertain. Truly, your advice about how to restructure and supplement the paper was the kickstart I needed, giving me the motivation to move forward with confidence."
– Dr. Lindsay Diehl, Assistant Professor of English, Theatre, Film, & Media, University of Manitoba
"Julie is well-informed, prompt, has a keen eye for detail, and is genuinely engaged in the work she is reading. She is a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Julie!"
– Dr. Chandrima Chakraborty, Associate Professor, Department of English and Cultural Studies, McMaster University
"Your comments and corrections were brilliant…I would gladly recommend you to anyone seeking an editor and look forward to working with you again soon."
– Sandra Comeau, PhD
"While helping me with my PhD dissertation and all the critical steps leading to my defence, Julie not only showed me how to become a better writer, she also gave me lots of unexpected moral support. She cared about my project and had a keen eye for what I was trying to communicate. She inspired confidence and encouraged me to find my authentic voice. What a gift she gave me. Now, I draw on her wisdom and editing skills for every writing project… I cannot recommend her highly enough."
