Working with Scott on Democracy Derailed was a joy. He is nothing short of amazing!

Kevin Taft, MLA
Former leader of the Alberta Liberal Opposition


I greatly enjoyed working one-to-one with Scott on my book I'll Never Marry a Farmer. He showed excellent instincts as a writer and editor, shaping my thoughts and ideas to truly express what I wanted to say.

When we looked for a Series Editor for our new Q & A books, Scott was the natural choice. He is a pleasure to work with, both personally and professionally.

The Derrick Club hired Scott to write a sixteen-page information pamphlet explaining a proposed $3,200,000 expansion of the Club to our members.

Scott helped us turn a mass of data into a lively, concise and persuasive document. He quickly grasped our requirements, and hit exactly the right tone with his first draft. Even under a tight deadline, Scott was always cooperative and pleasant to deal with.

Needless to say, our shareholders approved the proposal, and the Derrick now boasts much improved facilities. Scott's work was the backbone of our communication plan. I will happily recommend Scott in person; please do not hesitate to contact me at (780) 437-8375 or jnovotny@derrickclub.com.

I like Scott's writing very much. He does everything well, from content to language accuracy. He has an excellent sense of how to engage readers in both fiction and non-fiction pieces. When I ask Scott to do an assignment, I know he'll deliver what I need. He "gets it" in a way that I wish all writers could.

Scott took 1) 15 years of sporadically recorded history, 2) memories from his insightful interviews with those working for the company and 3) researched industry statistics and invaluable facts, and combined them all with his own unique, warm, accessible writing style to come up with a terrific corporate profile and website copy for imX communications.

He's definitely the man for the job!

We're glad we found Scott. We wanted a website for our hotel, but didn't know where to turn. Scott handled the whole thing -- from writing the text, to designing and building the site, to helping us register our domain. Two months later, we're already seeing results.

Our book project involved over 90 authors (all professors), plus an organizing committee. Could there be a more daunting task for an editor?

Scott proved perceptive and sensitive to each author's intentions and feelings. He edited where appropriate, but did not over-edit. Throughout the process he remained amicable, patient and diplomatic.

It's hard to imagine how we could have done it without him!

Oh, in case I forgot to mention... you are a miracle.
