A bit about me.

Hi, I’m Eimear, and I run Emore Edits.

I’ve been immersed in storytelling for as long as I can remember, and over time, I’ve turned my love of clarity, structure, and precise language into a career as a freelance book editor. With a background in journalism, communications, and content strategy, I help authors refine their manuscripts through beta reading, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading — from early drafts to publication-ready work.

I support both emerging and established writers across genres, with a particular focus on historical fiction, memoir, and narrative nonfiction. My editing style is warm, collaborative, and adaptable — tailored to each writer’s unique voice and goals.

Based in Toronto, I’m familiar with Canadian, US, Irish, and UK writing conventions, ensuring your manuscript aligns with the standards of your target market.

If you’re searching for a freelance editor who provides clear communication, detailed feedback, and supportive guidance, I’d love to help you bring your story to life.
