Justin Dill

I am a freelance editor with 7+ years of experience. I work primarily with indie authors, with my areas of specialty being fantasy, science fiction, horror, and young adult.  My qualifications include an undergraduate degree in English literature from the University of Toronto and a Certificate in Publishing from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson), the latter of which includes a Professional Development Award in Children’s Publishing. 

I offer both structural and copy editing. Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide range of genre fiction from paranormal shifter romance to mecha-based military sci-fi. My editorial portfolio can be viewed here: https://royaleditorial.com/portfolio

I am also an active member of the Toronto SFF community. I am a lead organizer for the Toronto Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Meetup as well as a published author. As an author, I’ve been nominated for an Aurora Award, received a silver honourable mention from Writers of the Future, and been awarded a grant by the Toronto Arts Council. My work has appeared in Augur Magazine, The Dread Machine, and The Common Tongue.
