‘As Canada’s largest media conglomerate, our publications were national flagship journals and we were highly discriminating in commissioning our writers. Paula’s work never disappointed me.’
- Shane Belknap, former Publisher, Rogers Media, Toronto
I’m the owner of Write First Time, and I’ve provided editorial and writing
services to corporations, small-to-medium sized companies, academics and individuals since 1991. I build close and collaborative relationships with all my clients in order to deliver highly targeted work that meets their specific needs.
Now back in Ontario after a decade in New South Wales, and with extensive experience in advertising, marketing and journalism gained in Sydney, London and Toronto, including experience in the medical, legal and educational sector in Australia, I offer full writing and editing services to authors, academics, business people, entrepreneurs and students – or indeed anyone looking to improve their written work for maximum clarity and effective connection with their target audiences.
I offer the following services:
My clients have included tertiary and post-graduate students, tutors, language learners, emerging authors, professionals, VET sector and university faculty members, government departments and agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), not-for-profit organisations, commercial enterprises of all sizes, teachers, start-ups, doctors, lawyers, PR firms, advertising agencies and marketing consultancies.
I'm a Professional Member of the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd); Editors NSW; Editors Canada; and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
I'm also a former Board member of the David Busby Centre which will celebrate its 30th year of operation in 2023. The Centre's mission is to create the shortest path from homelessness to permanent safe housing.
I look forward to discussing your project with you!
Thank you!
