Copywriting, editing and proofreading
Engaging, clear copy solutions for health, homes, and good causes.
I’m Tania, a freelance writer and editor in the Greater Toronto Area. I write copy that says what you mean, and fix the copy that doesn’t.
Whenever faced with a challenging edit or article, she is a go-to to get the job done right.
About
Hi, I’m Tania.
I’ve spent my career getting words out the door: on deadline, on brief and free of typos.
I spent more than seven years at BAM Builder Advertising & Marketing in Toronto, in client service, digital marketing and operations. That’s where I learned what it takes to launch a campaign, and how much rides on the words.
Since 2015 I’ve worked for myself as a copywriter, copy editor, proofreader and social media manager. I’m also a Certified Nutritional Practitioner, which is why so much of my work is in health and wellness.
Today I write for new home builders, wellness brands and charities, and I’m taking on lifestyle and travel work too. If your copy is nearly right, I’ll fix it. If it doesn’t exist yet, I’ll write it.

FAQ
Common questions
What do you charge?
It depends on the scope. Tell me about the project and I’ll send a quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
How long does a project take?
A proofread can be quick; a full website takes longer. Give me your deadline when you get in touch and I’ll tell you honestly whether I can meet it.
Can you work from a draft I’ve already written?
Yes. That’s what copy editing and proofreading are for. Send me what you have and I’ll tell you which one it needs.
My industry isn’t on your list. Can you still help?
Probably. New homes, health and wellness, and philanthropy are where I’ve worked most, but clear writing travels. Get in touch and we’ll find out.
Do you only work with clients in Toronto?
No. I’m based in the Greater Toronto Area and work remotely with clients wherever they are.

Tania is without question the top journalist I have worked with thus far.
