Profile

Quote or Key Phrase

I am nit-picky but patient; a gentle good listener.
Personal Biography

I have twenty-four years of publishing and editing experience: ten years at Oolichan Books and fourteen years as founder and publisher of Leaf Press (leafpress.ca). I have a lot of experience smoothing writing in English where English is a second (or third or fourth!) language. My two main passions are poetry and paddling, especially when those two come together in the transformative journey.
