Welcoming our new partner

We are so pleased to announce that Amy Haagsma is a new partner of West Coast Editorial Associates effective today, October 1, 2020.

Amy, based in Langley, specializes in copy editing and proofreading non-fiction materials, with a focus on technical communication and academic writing. She is a Certified Copy Editor and Certified Proofreader through Editors Canada, and her many contributions to that association include co-chairing the national conference in 2016 and holding executive or committee roles with the BC branch for seven years.

In addition to having terrific editing chops, Amy is a graphic designer, preparing book and report layouts and cover designs. She’s a web and marketing whiz too, designing and managing websites and handling social media for a variety of clients.

We have long admired Amy for her work and her contributions to the editing community, and we are simply delighted to welcome her into our partnership!

Words into (accessible) type

As writers and editors, we understand the importance of choosing the right words to communicate with our intended audience. Another part of communicating is how our words are presented on the page or onscreen.

Editing for accessibility

As editors, we are advocates for readers—the people who use the documents we help produce. If a document is not accessible, a significant portion of the intended audience may not be able to receive the message.
