Editing always a welcome respite

The Maple Leaf current frontReturning to the Government of Canada bilingual tabloid publication The Maple Leaf  as English Editor is a bit like coming home – while there are few challenges, I am in a comfortable place, working with talented, dedicated people, doing what I most enjoy doing.

I edit English text and proof the pages, liaise with writers and the Government of Canada Translation Bureau, and work with TML's French editor to ensure concordance between the English and French texts. As well, I write articles and book reviews, and maintain TML's database.
