I’m Judy, a native English speaker with over 15 years of experience editing across professional and academic subject areas. I hold a BA in English Literature from the University of Toronto, an MA in English Literature from Carleton University, and a PhD in English and Digital Design from the University of Waterloo.

I’ve worked in a range of creative and editorial roles, including writing grants and proposals, public speaking, editing both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, and presenting research at conferences. I have also successfully secured government funding for small Canadian startup media companies.

In my role as a professor, I’ve developed courses that teach undergraduate students how to become stronger writers and researchers. I’ve also worked in writing centres supporting students through one-on-one collaboration.

I can support writers in all stages of a project and have proven expertise in the following areas:

·       English literature and literary theory

·       Academic writing and reading comprehension

·       Creative writing and story development

·       Queer theory, media studies and culture

·       Smartphone culture and digital personhood

·       Cyborg, utopian/dystopian, and speculative literature and media

·       Posthumanism and transhumanism

·       Disability studies
