As a novice writer working on my first major work, I can’t thank you enough for guiding me through the editing process to ensure that my manuscript was a good as it could be. You were amazing to work with. Your skills in all the aspects of editing brought For a Better Life to a level that would never have been possible without you. --John Van Immerseel

"Choosing an editor who will be the right fit for you and your book can be a daunting task. I felt that Ellie really understood the goal of my book and most importantly the tone I was hoping to achieve.”
- Dorothy WRight, Side Effects
A Nurse's journey through secondary traumatic stress
When we began to write this book, we knew this venture was going to be unlike anything we’ve done before. But we never imagined how far we’d journey beyond our comfort zone. Art Embracing Awareness wouldn’t have been possible without assistance, and so we want to extend our deepest thanks to Ellie Barton, our editor, for her ongoing support and insightful feedback in transforming our prose/poems into this book. You are a gift to us. —Frantisek Strouhal and Chantal Robert

JOURNALS & Reports
I edited dozens of articles as a copy editor and proofreader for Canadian Public Policy and the Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health from 2005 to 2015. In 2017 and 2018 I edited several reports for the Environmental Sciences Group at the Royal Military College of Canada. As a result of the style guide I developed, the Environmental Sciences Group no longer needs an editor!
We very much enjoyed working with Ellie on the editing process of Cirque Global. She was a careful, insightful, and respectful reader, always open to discussion but also extremely well-versed in academic writing. Unfailingly professional and a pleasure to exchange emails and ideas with, we warmly recommend Ellie for copy editing and stylistic editing.
