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 Atkin did a substantive edit of my manuscript for middle grade readers. I don’t think anyone could have done a more thorough, insightful job. Her in-depth study of my writing exceeded my expectations for its solid critique and sharp insights related to structure, characterization, and plot developments. Above all, I welcome her enthusiastic encouragement.

Georgia helped edit a poetry collection of mine. Working with Georgia, I found her approach considered, open, and probing. She helped me explore my intentions for the collection and challenged my own assumptions about how my work communicates. Her punctuality; generosity with time; and precise, thorough feedback made the experience deeply rewarding. I would highly recommend her editorial skills and services.
