Where is Big Red Pen?

Big Red Pen is located in Victoria, BC, which boasts mild temperatures, spectacular gardens and long, sandy beaches, but where some residents have a habit of unnecessarily adding “e”s to the end of words (e.g., Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe). Big Red Pen will not do this to your copy, but will apply Canadian, British or American spellings and styles at your request.
