About Me (1.jpg

Hello

I'm Rowan, a freelance book editor specializing in copyediting services, a hockey fan, and an avid reader. Obsessed with: dogs, chocolate, potato chips, and helping authors get their books ready for publishing!

 

My favourite pastime is getting lost in a book. I have a knack for quickly picking out inconsistencies and noticing errors others don't see. I am drawn to using this ability to help authors with their novels. Attention to detail is my superpower, and my clients love me for it!

My Story

I am a graduate of the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts and a former administrative assistant. Before joining the editing world, I struggled to find my way. My work as an administrative assistant suited me well. It enhanced the skills I have always enjoyed using, including attention to detail, enthusiasm for research, organizational aptitude, ability to work independently, and working with deadlines. It took me a while to recognize these qualities as my strengths and dig deeper into how to use them in an area I am passionate about. I hit the jackpot when I found an online proofreading program, and I have continued my professional development in the editing field and expanded into copyediting.

I work with authors of fiction and non-fiction books. Because of my personal journey, I am drawn to working with novels in the health & wellness genre, focused on self-help, transformation, spiritual development, inspiration, mindset, manifesting, and intuition. It is wonderful to work with authors who are passionate about well-being and whose goal it is to help others. (But don't count me out for a good thriller; it's usually what I have in my hands right before I go to bed!) 

I approach what I do with a passion for supporting an author to achieve their goals. It is an honour to support the creativity and vulnerability it takes to put books into the world!

Launching Word on the Sheet as my editing business is the coolest job in the world!

Write on,

Rowan
