Background

About Caley Clements

My lifelong love of reading, writing, and words led me to degrees in English literature and journalism, and a certificate in book publishing, which, in turn, led me to a career as a editor in the book publishing industry. I have worked in-house and as a freelancer on a wide range of projects for many publishing companies, providing project management, editing, and proofreading. I am truly a generalist—my work has included textbooks on Indigenous food systems and public policy, memoirs focusing on living through divorce and coping with a child's illness, children's storybooks about overcoming stage fright and welcoming a new sibling, and cookbooks for adults and kids living in Canada's North. My goal for every project is to make sure that there’s no clutter standing between the writer and the reader. This means no spelling errors or typos to distract, no repetition or missing pieces to frustrate, no unclear phrasing or overwhelming jargon to create confusion. Whatever the topic or format, I love playing a part in transforming a rough draft into a polished finished product.
