About Me

Editing

Hi there! I’m an editor and proofreader with years of experience in the publishing industry, working on manuscripts in house with two of Canada’s largest publishers, Harlequin Books and Nelson Education. I also have years of freelance experience, collaborating both with publishers and directly with authors.

I’ve worked on everything from novels and manga to trade nonfiction, textbooks and scholarly monographs.

I have a reputation for accuracy and attention to detail when it comes to house style, grammar and storyline consistency. But just as important, I’m known for preserving the author’s voice, providing clear explanations for suggested changes and meeting deadlines without fail.

If your book is ready for that next step, I hope you’ll reach out!

Everything Else

But who is the Heather behind the editor? Well, you won’t be surprised to hear I’m a reader who likes to cast her net wide. Print, ebooks and audio; natural sciences, history and philosophy; cozy mysteries, literary fiction and science fiction—I love it all!

I also love climbing, hiking and biking to keep moving and get outdoors. And there’s nothing like the satisfaction of creating and tinkering, whether it’s with lumber, food or code.
