About

Backed by decades of experience in communications, journalism and public relations, M.E.S. Editing and Writing Services manages communications projects from concept to final product, bringing them in on time and within budget.

Your story might be in the form of a social media campaign, website, multimedia presentation, newsletter, brochure, speech, report, book, press release or other communications product.

My name is Marion Soublière. As owner of M.E.S. Editing and Writing Services, I vow to craft a clear and compelling story on your behalf. That's been my goal throughout my career, both as a magazine and newspaper editor and writer, and as a senior editor and writer during the 11 years I worked at a fast-paced communications agency in Ottawa.

I am a Certified Copy Editor and Certified Proofreader, as well as a member of Editors Canada and the Professional Writers Association of Canada.

Highly organized and detail-oriented, I can manage your project from start to finish. Often, research, writing, editing, fact-checking, photo research and proofreading are all part and parcel of projects that I oversee. M.E.S. Editing and Writing Services works with a network of talented suppliers, including other writers and editors as well as translators, web developers, designers and printers.

I am a registered supplier with the Government of Canada's Supplier Information database and the ProServices mandatory supply arrangement (Category 10.10, Technical Writer - Level 3, Senior and Category 10.11, Communications Consultant - Level 3, Senior).

M.E.S. Editing and Writing Services currently holds a standing offer with Global Affairs Canada. Since 2007, my firm has also been awarded standing offers with:

Certified Copy Editor and Certified Proofreader (certified by Editors Canada).

Member of Editors Canada and the Professional Writers Association of Canada.

Working for the Government of Canada is rewarding. In 2010, I shared my tips for winning contracts in a book for Canadian small businesses called Getting Work with the Federal Government: A guide to figuring out the procurement puzzle (Bloomington, IN: iUniverse). It's available from Chapters.ca, Amazon.ca, Kobo.com, iUniverse.com and other online retailers. Read some sample pages (click on "Look inside" above the book's cover).

I highly recommend Marion Soublière as both a writer and an editor. While on contract with Health Canada, Marion produced high quality content that was absolutely appropriate for its intended audiences. She also provided excellent feedback when her editing skills were needed. In addition, Marion is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. She even showed me a few tricks in Excel!
