About

Isabelle de Leon at her desk
COPENHAGEN 2025

Book blurbs, longform articles, anthology editorial — and wherever else the work takes me.

I'm Isabelle, a copywriter and editor based in Toronto. I work as an editorial coordinator at an independent publishing house where I spend my days between manuscripts, marketing meetings, and the quiet composition of a seasonal list.

My work spans editorial development, marketing copy, newsletters, metadata, retailer materials, and book launch campaigns. I enjoy translating complex ideas into clear, engaging content and helping projects move from concept to publication.
