Editor | Librarian | General Book Enthusiast
editor extraordinaire and exclamation mark enthusiast!
I’m a Toronto-based book professional versed in editing, the publication industry, and the library sector where I previously worked as a public-facing librarian.
I offer services and products to authors and organizations looking for an expert to help them with their publishing, through editing, project management, and consulting. With years of experience, I help authors go from first draft to final finished product.
I'm also a public speaker on editing-related topics and general business practices for freelancers. Reach out if you’d like to chat more on how I can help support your work!

Shelly kept all ten authors for the anthology I was a part of on track with clear communication, timelines, and organizational skills I do not possess.
