Editor Profile

Janice Dyer

Profile

As a Certified Professional Editor, I specialize in the fields of education, mental health, and health care. I provide a full range of editing services, including rewriting, revising, and reorganizing; ensuring a consistent and appropriate point of view and style; and correcting errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and usage. I am also skilled at ensuring that documents created by multiple authors are clear and consistent. My goal is to ensure that your message is communicated clearly, accurately, and concisely. I am adaptable, easy to work with, and have a good sense of humour.

With over 25 years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of publishers, self-published authors, not-for-profit organizations, healthcare organizations, and government agencies. I have edited, written, and re-written a wide range of documents, including textbooks, teachers’ guides, workbooks, online courses, and assessments at all levels (elementary to university); non-fiction books and manuals; marketing materials for the real estate industry and the alternative medicine industry; self-published books on a range of topics; surveys, research reports, and journal articles; and websites. I have also written a number of non-fiction children’s books.

Other areas of experience include marketing, alternative medicine, organizational development, social sciences, research, and business management.
