Alicia’s copyediting work is incredible. The amount of care and attention to detail that she puts in is unmatched, and she has a gift of being able to adjust her editing style to fit the style of the author. I’ve worked with her several times now, and her work is quick, thorough, and done with care.

I edit online content for a major Canadian visitors’ and convention bureau, and contacted Alicia Hibbert in search of sensitivity reading. Alicia provided informed, professional feedback within my less-than-generous timeline. She also shared detailed explanations for each copy change, which helped educate me on important contexts, history and evolution in Canadian English. I soon began sending Alicia all my fact-checking and copyediting, too. Her work (and that of her team) is always professional, contemporary and on deadline. Alicia took it upon herself to maintain a style guide for our account so she can keep track of all the little quirks of our website, including display copy, neighbourhood nicknames, hyperlink style and so forth. She is an exceptional copyeditor with a keen eye for detail, editorial nuance and tone. Her work is always in on time or earlier than assigned. She makes me look good to my client, and for that I am so very grateful!

The land acknowledgement workshop taught me so much about myself my own kinship how I show up in the world to my community and myself. It connected me to my ancestors myself and my future. I also took away the skills to bring Land acknowledgments into personal and professional settings in a way that’s appropriate and authentic. I loved being in a group setting to learn and having different styles of acknowledgments that were “beyond the script” was so impactful and important to my learning. I didn’t expect the experience to be so emotional for me and I’m thankful that it was and that the facilitators and participants provided a safe space for vulnerability and truth.

I would have to say everything was impactful … Your insight, perspective and energy was superb!

We have been nothing short of thrilled with Edified Projects, their expert knowledge, experience, and thoughtfulness of approach have been invaluable to supporting our work with Indigenous communities.
