Welcome!

My name is Georgia Atkin, and I am a writer and editor based in Nova Scotia, Canada. I provide a range of different editing services: substantive editing, copy editing, stylistic editing, and proofreading (some for all genres and some only for a few specific genres). I also offer book indexing for select projects. Not sure which of these editing services is right for your project? Learn more about these different services here.

I’m also a creative writer: I write poetry, short fiction, and a smattering of non-fiction. You can find a list of my published works here (plus my Creative Corner page, where I post new flash fiction stories from time to time).

Georgia is a consummate professional. She is organized in her approach, showing up to her editing work with clear timelines and intuitive feedback. She was open and clear in her communication despite the challenges of working entirely online, and was very patient through multiple rounds of editing. Her attention to detail sharpened the language I used in my book, clarifying my poetry and helping to identify the steps I needed to take to move forward with my writing.

I’m very pleased with the copy edit Georgia Atkin completed on my romance novel Ocean’s Lure. In addition to grammar errors and missing words, she caught factual errors, anachronisms, and even inconsistent character behaviour. Her work was professional – on time and on budget – and thorough.
