From 2016-2017, I took editing classes at George Brown College's St.James Campus. These courses taught me how to copyedit, proofread, and provide substantive edits to writers of all levels of experience. My editing-focused training also made it possible for me to combine my background in writing and content marketing, with a basic understanding of how to edit writers in a variety of settings, contexts, and circumstances. Professionally speaking, my digital marketing professional background dates back to 2009.
I have helped people make social causes and projects searchable, shareable, and accessible to a global, web-based audience. If your organisation is tackling issues that affect disabled people, like employment, access to alternative medicine and wellness options, and education, I can also help make your messaging relevant, accessible, and engaging to disabled people and the broader public. As someone who is also involved in disability advocacy, and is disabled myself, I am always taking a mixture of accessibility and stigma-free language into consideration. As an author, occasional speaker at events, and someone who has done a lot of different media and press appearances, your company will experience the helpful benefit of a built-in, niche audience that can make finding the right source and/ or accessing the disabled demographic a lot easier. I am also strong believer in the social model of disability, which states that a disabled person is disabled by the limitations of their environment not their symptoms. I also value the positive connotations that identify first language creates: "autistic" not person with autism" for example. Although I will always investigate the personal preferences of a specific disability community, and never assume that their preferences are the same as mine. Below are a few samples of my past editing projects. |

On March 2019, I helped Amie Reiman launch the HIP Lives website. HIP Lives is a website that covers health, wellness, and advocacy for women. Especially the topic of medical cannabis therapy, and the stigma that people face. Here's how I supported her throughout the entire process :

Rosemary is a pleasure to work with because she takes the daunting "start up" needs of a super beginner and supports you from the intake right through to the launch.
