About

Bloggers and online journalists are getting better at their craft every day. But they have to publish so rapidly that grammatical mistakes and choppy sentences inevitably creep in.

Edit Owl fixes this. We provide fast, reliable editing services for news websites and blogs, making sure their posts have a clear message, a crisp style, and flawless grammar.

We tend to come into the picture after a blog or news website is up and running and has found an audience and defined its voice. Our clients are publishers of major news websites and blogs on current affairs, the Internet, arts and entertainment, and business. We give them as much or as little help as they need with their content, which usually means fixing grammar, spelling, punctuation, phrasing, style, and HTML formatting.

Founded in 2006, Edit Owl is based in Toronto, Canada, but run completely online. We are:

Andrew Lobo has been editing text of one kind or another for over 10 years. He started Edit Owl with the ambition to make web content clear and easy to read. He recently succumbed to Twitter but would like you to think he’s well-rounded because he plays badminton and eats cuisines as varied as Indian, Chinese, and Count Chocula.
Chloë Filson, our resident editor, has an Honors BA in English Literature and many years of experience as a grammar stickler under her belt. She finds joy in drinking tea with honey and helping others express themselves clearly.
Caitlin Jones, another of our editors, has been reading the fine print all these years. She has a BA in English and Creative Writing, and when she’s not editing, you can find her biking around her neighborhood. She is thrilled to join the team here at Edit Owl.
Geoffrey Tyson is another member of our editing team. His background in English language and literature and experience with web development all come to bear quite nicely on this business of producing content for the Internet. He is pleased to be a part of Edit Owl and would like to earn enough to purchase a new chair.
Kathryn Greenham takes care of quality control as Editorial Assistant. Eyes sharp as a hawk’s, Kathryn oversees our communications and makes sure the edits that go out to our clients are in tip-top shape. After hours, she devotes her time to reading about the environment and watching anything by Joss Whedon and JJ Abrams.
