Testimonials
Greg Ioannou (Owner of Colborne Communications, Iguana Books, and PubLaunch; Past president of Editors Canada; Chair of the Standards Committee for Editors Canada)
“Matthew Long was an outstanding editing student, quickly grasping everything I was trying to teach. As he was finishing the George Brown Editing program, he entered my life as an especially effective volunteer, running the publishing program at Editors Canada. If Editors Canada trusts someone to be responsible for their publications, you know that someone is a special kind of editor. ”
Berna Ozunal (Former chair of the Standards Committee for Editors Canada)
“I worked with Matthew on publishing Editors Canada’s Professional Editorial Standards 2024 and couldn’t be more impressed with his organizational and management abilities as he guided us through this long and complex process. He is extremely professional, astute, and diligent.
Matthew was also an A+ student in my structural and stylistic editing class. I have no doubt that he will be an excellent editor for future clients.”
