Meet Christine
Hello! Thank you for your interest in my services! I am a Toronto-based freelance editor and writer with a master's degree in English (Rhetoric and Composition) and training in editing from Ryerson University where I was nominated for the prestigious Rosemary Shipton Award for excellence in book editing.
I am a confident copy editor and writer whose experience spans from creating proposals and gift catalogs at a nonprofit organization to reviewing and promoting books, both Young Adult and Women's Literature, for various websites.
My true passion lies in editing fiction and creative nonfiction, as people's stories, including the essays written by the heroic women in the You've Got This, Mama series to the best-selling and life-changing words in the book To Call Myself Beloved, bring me joy.
To date, my portfolio contains more than seventy documents, from whodunnit mysteries to self-help manuals to books featuring tough-as-nails heroines.
Please email me to discuss your editing needs.
