Let's collaborate this winter! If you're in need of editing, proofreading or beta reading services but have a limited budget, make me an offer!
✒ About me:
My name is Rory and I'm a writer, reader and storyteller located in British Columbia! I've been reading and writing fiction for over 25 years, and have a comprehensive education in professional writing and storytelling, including a bachelor's degree from Capilano University, and an Applied Communications diploma from Camosun College.
Before and during university, I served as an editor, beta reader and proofreader, both professionally and non-professionally. Polishing up stories, manuscripts and essays has always been something I enjoy, and so it was a hobby of mine for many years.
Though I have been working full time in the film industry since 2018, I am looking to transition into part-time for the foreseeable future, and would like to start building a more recent and professional portfolio to establish some groundwork and footing in the editing industry.
So I am currently looking for writers in need of low-cost editors, proofreaders or beta readers! I have samples of my work available upon request, and am offering free sample edits of your manuscript or project so you can get an idea of my editing style!
✒ Favourite Genres/Subjects:
I can edit and proofread almost any genre or age group, but these are some areas I’m more experienced in:
- Fantasy - Contemporary Fiction - Romance - LGBTQ+ - Trans Identies - YA & Adult - Mental Health
✒ What I offer:
With my editing and proofreading services, I will polish and elevate your work from stand-up, to stand-out. Depending on what your needs are, I will provide:
- A thorough, careful proofread for grammar, spelling and punctuation - Line level adjustments for syntax, sentence structure, use of language and narrative flow - In-line comments and feedback on your manuscript/project, including style tips, character and dialogue suggestions, and opportunities for improved clarity and story impact - A final feedback summary of overall thoughts on your project, including both positive and constructive critique. I will let you know which elements I found the strongest and most impactful, and will provide advice on areas that could use some improvement.
✒ My Style
I have a pensive, patient and thorough editing style. I can provide as much or as little commentary as you’re comfortable with, though I lean towards providing a lot of feedback. I enjoy a friendly and complimentary relationship with other writers, and am happy to answer any questions you might have when going through my edits. If you’d like a second pass to an edit, let me know and we can discuss.
✒Pricing
If you’re interested in working with me, feel free to ask about getting a free sample edit for your project!
Currently I’m operating under a flexible, Pay What You Can system. As I’m looking to build a client base and recent portfolio, I’m happy to discuss your project with you, as well as your needs and budget. As I anticipate having some time this winter, I can hopefully take a few projects under market value, so long as we can come to an agreement ahead of time!
If you have any questions at all, don’t be afraid to ask!

The best place to reach me is at rorynathieltroye@gmail.com ! Feel free to email me and I will be happy to answer any questions, or send you some samples of my work!
