Margaret Gobie was a pleasure to work with on the edit of my book Twas The Night - The Art and History of the Classic Christmas Poem. It was a complicated book and the edit included careful attention to historical text and many captions and credits for hundreds of art works. Margaret worked diligently and presented as she stated she would, on time and on budget. A very good overall experience. PAMELA MCCOLL

Professional Editor with Extensive Arts Experience
I graduated from the Editing Program at Simon Fraser University and I continue to upgrade my skills. I am a member of Editors Canada (where I completed the John Eerkes-Medrano Mentorship), Editors BC, Club Ed and The Creative Academy for Writers. I volunteer extensively in the arts, on selection committees for theatre festivals, helping to choose and pair new playwrights with directors, and on the board of directors for art galleries, live theatres and film festivals.

Few writers want to show their 'before' work to the public, so I don't share those. I can, however, show you some of my completed assignments from the editing course or edit a sample of your own work. Get in touch and we'll talk.

Margaret was not only knowledgeable about editing (chapter, paragraph and sentence construction), she was easy to talk to and suggested changes in an easy to receive manner. I don’t know what I would have done without her help on my dissertation. I got more than editing help. I became a better writer working with her.
