About Jayson

I’m an editor and writer with an academic background. I have a PhD in philosophy (specializations in ethics and political theory), and I taught for a number of years at post-secondaries.

I’m a professionally trained editor with a certificate in Editorial Skills from George Brown College in Toronto and years of freelance editing under my belt.

As an editor, I’m rigorous and dogged in my approach, but most of all, I’m just very curious about what people are writing about, who they are, and what they want to say!

Testimonials

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jayson over the past year in his role as an editor. Throughout our work together, he has consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, responsibility, and attentiveness. Jayson approaches every text with great care, respecting both the author’s voice and the integrity of the material.

What stands out most is his responsiveness and ability to understand the client’s needs. He listens attentively, communicates clearly, and always ensures that feedback is addressed thoughtfully and efficiently. His careful, detail-oriented approach makes the editing process smooth and effective, while his reliability and dedication build trust and confidence. I highly recommend Jayson as an editor for any project requiring precision, sensitivity to language, and strong client-focused collaboration.

Jayson edited a short story that I wrote. I love his editing style and will definitely collaborate with him on future projects. He provided me with both in-text edits and a separate document with comments and suggested revisions. His notes were thoughtful, thorough, and easy to follow. His queries were in-depth and perceptive, showing a tight grasp of the story theme (and my vision!) He applied his own creativity to develop original ideas that will enrich the story. I hope that other fiction writers find Jayson; they will have much to gain from his guidance, expertise, and unique perspective.

It is such a delight to work with Jayson. He reviewed our last SSHRC application with such care and professionalism. Nothing escapes his eagle eye. And more than flagging problems, he makes wonderful edits and suggestions in line with the competition criteria. I felt much more confident we would get this grant after his editing work.

Michael Seguin, Assistant Professor Saint Paul University School of Leadership, Ecology and Equity

We have worked with Jayson on a number of complex projects including white papers, feature and SEO articles, and news releases, and we have been very pleased with his work and skills. His approach has always been collaborative, thoughtful, and thorough. As a writer, he has readily shown his ability to ask the right questions and contribute his unique insights into nuanced technical topics, and we have been particularly impressed with his ability to effectively communicate objectives in line with specific guidelines and styles. Thanks to Jayson’s work, we have been able to grow our marketing solutions for deep technology. We would highly recommend him to any company looking for a lead writer or editorial role, and we look forward to working with him again.

“Jayson gave me some very insightful comments on my manuscript on the history of philosophy and theology. He also went above and beyond what was requested and gave me some additional written comments and suggestions, several of which I’m going to implement. Much appreciated!”

Travis Dougherty, Author

Jayson did such a great job! The project had a lot of mistakes, and I wouldn’t have been able to check them in the short time the project needed to be done.

Stephanie Rodrigues, Project Manager

Jayson was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional and courteous. He delivered excellent work, on time.
