Editor Profile

Janice Young

Profile

I am an award-winning writer and former longtime editor-in-chief of one of the highest-selling, longest-running magazines in Atlantic Canada. I have years of experience editing a wide variety of projects, from magazines and books (novels, memoirs, children’s books, essay compilations, cookbooks and more), to marketing campaigns, public relations, word puzzles, website copy, and product labels. I am extremely approachable, professional and thorough when working with writers in any stage of their careers – from first-time novelists to seasoned journalists.  My editing interests are like my reading ones – all genres welcome. Discounted rates may be applied to first-time authors and not-for-profits. A no-strings-attached free sample edit can be provided upon request.
