Jonathan Webb Email & Phone Number

Over the past thirty years, I have been a journalist, novelist, editor, and publisher. After completing my formal education (B.A., Queen’s University, M.A. University of Toronto), I joined the staff of Canadian Review magazine (Ottawa), and then moved to London, England, where I worked a sub-editor at Woman’s Own magazine. Three years later, back in Canada, I accepted a position as editor at Key Porter Books in Toronto. I subsequently moved to McClelland & Stewart, where I was managing editor and eventually associate publisher. Since leaving M&S, I have filled a one-year contract position as a senior editor at Penguin Group Canada, and otherwise continued to freelance as a writer, ghost writer and editor specializing in non-fiction. My novel, Pluck, was co-winner of the Seal First Novel Award. I selected and edited the excerpts that make up the anthology, Mordecai Richler Was Here: Selected Writings. I am the author of four children’s books, What’s a Zoo Do?, Journey to Mars, Canada’s Wars and Sniper Fire, as well as an adult true-crime book, Stolen: To Catch an Art Thief.

Listed skills include Publications, Proofreading, Books, Magazines, and 15 others.
