​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 Toronto Metropolitan 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 creative nonfiction, as people's stories, including the essays written by the heroic women in the Great Canadian Woman 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 a hundred documents, from memoirs to self-help manuals to personal narratives.

​Please email me to discuss your editing needs.
