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 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.
