Copyeditor

ACCT - The Arab Community Centre of Toronto

Copywriter & Editor

What I do:

-tailored, effective web content in any voice or style 
-blogs that elicit meaningful engagement
-well-researched, impactful articles
-concise yet potent social media posts
-email campaigns & newsletters
-targeted press releases
-interviews (journalistic or otherwise)
-creative text for artistic projects or collaborations with visual artists
-non-profit/social justice communications strategies
-proofreading, copyediting, or deeper structural editing

More about me: 

I have been writing and editing in one form or another for over 20 years. From hard-hitting poetry to hard-hitting news stories, words have always been my currency. More formally, I have 7+ years of experience working with non-profits in promotions, media outreach, communications, and campaign coordination capacities. I also have 8+ years of experience as a full-time freelance copywriter & editor for non-profit and corporate clients alike. My background is heavy on the social justice advocacy, reproductive, sexual, and gender justice, anti-racist work, climate justice, and meaningful collaborations with Indigenous communities. Plus, I have a shiny little master's degree in creative writing.

For many years I put my writing, social media, and people skills to use getting hundreds, and sometimes thousands of people out to lectures, workshops, marches, panel discussions, and volunteer meetings. I know how to reach people, and I enjoy harnessing my profoundly lived and learned communications skills to assist organizations in their quest for truly impactful messaging.

I'm a stickler for detail, a perfectionist, a punctual, obsessive snob of a writer. All qualities that my clients are happy about. I'm also wildly creative, but can be reined in. I love a good story. I am a fountain of ideas for the taking.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Oh, and if you're interested in my poetry or fiction, or you'd like to discuss a creative collaboration, don't hesitate to get in touch.
