Profile
You’ve already done the hardest part; let me ensure your writing has the polish it deserves.
I am passionate about amplifying authors’ voices and ensuring that your message is heard loud and clear by your readers. I work hard to understand you as an author, your goals, and how I can best customize my services to ensure that your book fulfills your larger personal and professional ambitions.
I specialize in working with non-fiction authors in the genres of history, religion, leadership, business, and academics, and I also work with creative non-fiction authors of memoir and self-help books. Leveraging my previous experience as a pastor, I have helped numerous Christian authors ensure their books are well received by Christian readers. I also edit academic articles for research journals of various scientific subjects such as biology and life sciences, business and economics, chemistry and materials science, computer science and mathematics, environmental and earth sciences, medicine and pharmacology, public health and healthcare, and social sciences and the humanities.
As a professional editor, I offer comprehensive editing services from developmental and stylistic editing to copy editing and proofreading services through Erasmus Editorial, but I am also a contract editor at The Self Publishing Agency. I have a Bachelor of Arts in History Honours, a Diploma in Biblical Studies, and I’ve completed an Editing Certificate through Simon Fraser University. I’ve been involved in the professional editing world as the volunteer coordinator and member services executive for Editors BC for 2022–2024.
One of the quotes I continue to live by comes from Desiderius Erasmus: “When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.”
