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 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.

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.
