Your writing can make a lasting impression. An editor can help.

Keith Goddard: Professional Editor

I am a non-fiction editor based in Toronto, Canada. I am a member of Editors Canada and have an editing certificate from Simon Fraser University.

I specialize in editing dissertations, theses, and educational materials (e.g., curriculums and textbooks). I have also edited several successful grant proposals. Whatever your writing project, I can help.

I edit writing on music topics

If you need an editor for your written materials about music, you need a music specialist who understands the language of music.

With a master’s degree in music, I can edit your dissertation, instructional materials, programs, or anything else you need help with.

I provide ESL editing

As a certified ESL teacher, I have experience working with multilingual authors and helping them express their ideas clearly.

 

Whatever type of editing you need, send me a message and we can discuss your project.

Working with Keith on this project has been an absolute joy.

Editing for clarity

Editing is about more than just following grammar rules and fixing spelling errors.

  • I will preserve your distinct voice while ensuring your message is clear.

  • I can make complicated topics more accessible to your intended readers.

  • If necessary, I can reduce your word count without reducing the power of your message.
