All writers benefit from editorial advice, and in today’s tight publishing market, it is especially crucial that manuscripts receive candid feedback and careful editing before they are sent out for potential publication. Pearl Luke mentors beginning and intermediate writers through all aspects of writing: planning, first drafts, editing, rewriting, queries and submission. She assists with query letters to agents and editors when books are ready for publication, and generally answers any questions related to writing fiction and non-fiction. Pearl Luke has an M.A. in English Literature and is the author of two novels and dozens of non-fiction articles. She has been editing fiction and non-fiction since 1989, when she got her first freelance assignment with Red Deer College Press. She went on to work for Detselig Press, Carswell Publishing, and the University of Calgary Press before changing her focus to teaching. She mentors creative writers privately and through the University of British Columbia, and she teaches Advanced English Composition for DeVry University Online.
