Informally:

Hello! My name is Willow. I live in Montreal / Tiohti:áke where I was not born, but raised. I’m a poet and fiction writer by vocation and you can find me curled up with my nose in a book most evenings. When I’m not reading, I’m at events supporting local artists or working on creative projects. I have seven years experience editing manuscripts and three working directly with the Canadian literary landscape. I specialize in copyediting and proofreading and love being a part of the refining process to ensure a book is the best version of itself possible. I’ve also taught corporate ESL for over three years. People always have such interesting questions about language. Why do we say it that way? These questions challenge me to constantly improve my knowledge of grammar, which supports my editing work.
