✨Congratulations to the extraordinary Margo LaPierre for being a finalist for the 2024 Tom Fairley Award for editorial excellence, presented by Editors Canada to an exceptional editor.
Margo played a pivotal role in the success of my novel, THE FAMILY CODE, published by Guernica Editions in 2023. BRAVO!
Thank you, Margo, for your superb editing and for making me a better writer.

Excerpt from my letter of support to Editors Canada for Margo LaPierre:
“A successful and productive editor-author dyad resembles the therapist and client twosome. An editor or therapist can offer decades of experience, training, wisdom, and know-how. But it all comes down to trust and the quality and state of their relationship. If it’s present, you have synchronicity, or what therapists call a therapeutic alliance.
We would develop rapport, cultivate empathy and understand the collaborative nature of the partnership with clearly stated roles. There would be a synergy and a mutual investment in achieving the best possible outcome.“
