"Melissa was my student in the online copy-editing course of Ryerson University’s Chang School. Throughout this 13-week intense session, Melissa demonstrated a keen editorial sense, a sharp editorial eye, and diplomacy when it came to sticky authorial matters. She is a meticulous copy editor and stylistic editor, with a firm handle on how much intervention is needed—meaning she is neither heavy-handed nor light-handed in her editing but gets it just right. I believe Melissa would be a strong asset to any editorial team; I know I would be happy to have her on mine." 

—Judy Phillips, editor
