Combined with Marg's great sense of homour and get it done attitude, we worked very well together over the years. Marg is highly intellegent, meets deadlines and is dedicated and very hard working.

I worked with Margaret L as a contributing writer for about ten years and found her knowledgeable, conscientious, and easy to work with. She worked hard to find good article ideas, meeting deadlines, and seeming willing to always go that extra mile. I would recommend her writing and editing services.

Margaret Land is a talented and versatile writer and editor. I worked with Margaret for more than a decade copyediting all of her writing for trade publications. I’ve seen her deliver excellent business writing ahead of deadline month after month. Her news writing is tight, extremely clean, accurate. It's also fresh – not an easy feat to achieve. Her lively features help make complicated or technical topics clear. Her profiles bring subjects to life through understanding and empathy. As an editor she shines. I've seen her sweat the details – including grammar, sentence structure, style questions – pull together magazine copy efficiently and build and maintain strong relationships with her freelance writers and industry contacts. Strong writing aside, her work as an editor gave voice to those industries and commanded a lot of respect from her readers and from colleagues like me. Two things about Margaret stand out to me: her terrific sense of humour and her unfailing ability to get to the point. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any editorial position.
