I'm a science editor and writer with a passion for life sciences and the environment. I edit all types of documents and manuscripts, and I especially love working on children's books.

I am a substantive and developmental editor who loves books. I can offer input about what works and what doesn't and can help you succeed at crafting the best story that you can possibly write.

"Nowick’s comments are always astute and insightful, never hurtful or condescending. I recommend his services to any writer." - Charles Finn, author of Wild Delicate Seconds (an LA Times Summer Reads pick)

Top shelf English; delighted to help.

Clarifying voices, distilling ideas.

If it's worth writing, it's worth editing.

You know what you’re saying, but will your readers? I can be a fresh set of eyes to ensure your writing is clear and correct.

I'm an editor of nonfiction manuscripts specializing in inspirational, spiritual, and self-help content. I also help authors navigate the entire self-publishing process.

Quality work–on time and on budget.

Let me be your "fresh pair of eyes" on upcoming projects.

Non-fiction Editing,  Indexing

Hello! I have experience editing works of fiction (specifically speculative fiction (adult and children) and mysteries/thrillers), news articles, scientific articles, blog posts, and more. I also have experience guiding authors through the publishing process. Hope to hear from you soon! www.editican.com

The right words, in the right place, at the right time

"Thank you for a very comprehensive report! Your writing is impeccable." V. Racovitan, Associate Director, Medical Affairs, Merck Canada "Thank-you so much for an amazing job . This is wonderful. I really appreciate your fast turnaround on this." J. Barnett, Senior eHealth Consultant, Coast Health Informatics Consultants Ltd.

Specializes in copyediting corporate documents. I enjoy polishing copy that your organization has drafted: I'll give it a consistent voice and tone, make subtle changes that make your words interesting to read and easy to digest, and correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation, all to have the maximum impact on your reader.

I am an editor and indexer who specializes in academic and non-fiction documents. With 30 years of experience evaluating academic papers I have developed a keen eye for spotting spelling and grammar errors. I can simplify your text to clarify meaning and I can write an index for your book to help readers find the information they need.

"Rosalind Adams has an eagle eye for details, whether grammatical or style. With that she has the real ability to see the overall arc of a long piece of writing and to pick out the places where it fails. She is also tactful and clear in her comments." Joanna M. Weston, author

Be brilliant in every word. "Jennifer is a complete joy to work with as she employs a great deal of respect, knowledge, and skill in the editing process. Her timeliness and professionalism helped me climb a mountain of challenges and made all the difference in preparing my project for publication." ~ Rebekah Allen, Publication Manager, Canadian Historical Fiction (Published 2017)

Writing and editing is my passion. For more than 20 years, I have been writing for companies, authors, magazines, print and websites. I would be happy to guide you from an idea to a publication. Good writing is an art. Few investments reward as richly as well-chosen words.  In professional life, the difference between the right word and the almost right word can be measured by success. As an independent communications consultant I understand the power of the written word and know how to use it.
