I'm a neurodiverse editor, indexer, and research consultant based in Edmonton and an off-reserve member of the Tsay Keh Dene Nation in northern BC. Through my business, Rhonda Kronyk Literary Services, I bring thirteen years of editing experience to clients across academic, fiction, and trade non-fiction publishing, working with presses and authors from across Turtle Island. I'm comfortable with all major style guides and adaptable to house style, and I've honed my skills across a diverse range of disciplines, including policy and process development, non-profit administration and governance, non-profit programming, and equity and diversity research and reports.
I'm a founding member of the Indigenous Editors Association, and during my time as the organization's project coordinator (2024-2025), I managed several projects, facilitated sessions and workshops, and served as primary planner for the 2025 Indigenous Editors Circle. In 2026, I completed Berkley University's Indexing: Theory and Application course. I'm currently pursuing my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.
Since attending the Indigenous Editors Circle in 2017, I've focused my career on content by and about Indigenous Peoples, while remaining flexible and open to many other genres. I'm inspired by the power of storytelling to connect and heal and deeply invested in Indigenous storytelling and making space for Indigenous voices in publishing.

Statement of Gratitude:
The lands we live on connect us to the stories of our past and those that will be told in the future-the stories upon which our profession is based. These lands sustain and nourish us, and our relationships with each other help us thrive. The Indigenous Editors Association gives thanks to the the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Peoples who continue to steward the lands on which our head office is located, in Vancouver, BC. It is in this spirit of gratitude that we carry out our work as Indigenous members of the publishing community.
