About the instructor

Shelley Egan works as a freelance editor and writing coach. As well as a certificate in the developmental editing of fiction, she has earned a BA in English, an MEd, and a publishing certificate from Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), formerly Ryerson University. There, she was nominated by her copy-editing instructor for an award for excellence in book editing.

A former Hansard editor, and college and university ESL instructor, Shelley is an enthusiastic lifelong learner. In addition to studying fiction editing through TMU, Editors Canada, and Club Ed Freelancers, she has taken writing and editing workshops from, among others, author-instructors David Corbett, Jennifer Lawler, Tim Lott, Claire McGowan, Roz Morris, and Susan Pohlman - as well as from Sarah Burton and Jem Poster, co-founders of Cambridge University’s master’s program in creative writing.

An Editors Canada member and volunteer, Shelley leads workshops for UNB’s College of Extended Learning, teaches courses for Club Ed Freelancers, and belongs to a writing group with members in England, Barbados, and British Columbia.
