Profile
If you are looking for a professional editor to evaluate and edit your manuscript, please feel free to contact me, at sylviapollard@mail.com. I can also write your back cover copy: about you and about your book.
I am a career editor-writer and music composer, currently working as a freelance book editor. From 2007 to 2015, I was the full-time Senior Copy Editor of The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry. As well as editing the journal and various position papers, I wrote monthly media advisories. Before that, I owned and operated my own editing and writing business, Pollard Editing, specializing in literary fiction, and providing editing and writing services to federal government departments, academics, non-profit associations, and private-sector businesses. And before that, I was a Manager, Policy, within the federal government. I have a degree in English and Geography.
