Editing
Besides writing books for young readers, I have over twenty years of experience teaching creative writing at Dawson College, where I received the Director General’s Teaching Excellence Award in 2013.
During that time, I have also been running creative writing workshops in local schools and libraries for kids, teens and adults, as well as offering one-on-one story editing to professional writers and anyone else interested in developing a writing project.
I have edited everything from picture books to plays to novels, at all stages in their development. Whatever your writing project and goals, let’s discuss how I might help support you in moving them forward.
Kind Words
“Andrew has been my story editor since 2020. At that time, my story, THE LITTLE REGENT, had been rejected multiple times for publication and was headed for self-publication. Andrew assured me that this story was not just good enough to be trade-published, it was a story that needed to be told. With Andrew's help I was able to rewrite this story and it became my first trade-published picture book. Andrew also edited the two stories that became my next picture book contracts. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for not just editing services, but encouragement through the process.”
