Jo Calvert — Writer & Editor

“Jo works magic with words. She applies the dexterous touch of an editor that is both skillful and artful. Over the span of six years, I’ve watched Jo transform murky, text-heavy manuscripts into articles that sing, while treating the writers with respect and reverence. As a writer, Jo pens short and long(er) magazine pieces that readers love because the copy is so accessible – and which editors love because her pieces require so little reworking.”

— Doug O’Neill, former Executive Editor,

Canadian Living magazine

“Jo is the best kind of editor: sensitive, thoughtful and talented at teasing out the finer points of a story without sacrificing the writer’s unique voice.”

— Christina Anson-Mine, former Executive Editor,
