I believe love is the only way to create great work. If you don't love it, then your heart's best won't be in it. I am an editor, writer and blogger with over 18 years of professional experience. I help authors with their story development by consulting on manuscripts, and I will read your book and advise you on what needs to be changed and what shouldn't be.

I am a voting member of Editors Canada and a writing member of the Quebec Writers' Federation.
