Welcome to the Edmonton twig of Editors Canada!
Who we are
Editors Edmonton’s members live in the greater Edmonton area, northern Alberta, and northern Saskatchewan, in addition to further-flung jurisdictions including Yukon and the Northwest Territories. In the summer of 2021, the chairs of Editors Edmonton stepped down, and Editors Calgary assumed the leadership of the Edmonton twig.
For current information about what’s happening in Edmonton, or to hire a local Edmonton editor, please visit the Editors Calgary webpage.
Looking for an editor?
Hiring a professional editor brings many advantages:
- Get informed, objective feedback on your work to guide improvements.
- Enhance the clarity, consistency, coherency, and correctness of your writing while saving time and frustration.
- Rectify any issues with overall structure, flow, grammar, mechanics, and word choice.
- Increase the likelihood of publication and broader readership.
Our editors specialize in different types of writing in numerous genres. Let us help you find just the right local editor for your important project:
- Email us to have your request broadcast to our 150 twig members. Any interested, qualified, and available editors will respond, and from there you can pick the person best suited to you. Please include as much detail as possible about your project, the type of editing you’re looking for, your manuscript length, and preferred deadline.
- If you don’t need a local editor, you can also search Editors Canada’s Online Directory of Editors and contact the candidates you’re interested in directly.
