If you’ve shopped for a car, bought a house, looked up a sports stat, baked a cake, invested in a mutual fund, or built a website, you’ve probably seen our work.

Since 1977, we’ve provided writing, editing, proofreading, indexing, and research services to a variety of individual, corporate, and government clients, including all of Canada’s major publishers. We’ve contributed our know-how to more than 3000 different publications in almost every field imaginable, from financial planning and e-commerce to education, gardening, and cooking.

Our experienced writers, editors, and designers can lead you through a project from its development right through to production, no matter the media. We can also pinch-hit at any stage of the process. We’ll help you reach readers while ensuring your work meets the highest standards.
