Practical help.
Creative work.
A knack for getting things done.
About Sam
I’m Sam DARLING, a Montréal-based writer, editor, filmmaker and organizer. I help develop manuscripts, organize archives and move complicated projects from good intentions to finished work.
You can hire me for editorial judgment, writing, project development and practical support. We’ll work out what needs doing, then get to work. Discretion and a sense of humour included.
Here for the creative work or family history? Explore my books, films and music, or the family paintings and genealogy archive.
Librarian. Museum professional. Filmmaker. Editor. Writer. Archive specialist.
I help people make sense of information, stories, and collections.
Services
Hands-on help with your home, paperwork, photographs and digital files. From an overstuffed cupboard to decades of family correspondence, we’ll make things easier to find, use and manage.
A book you want to write. A funeral you don’t want to attend alone. A family home that needs sorting afterwards. I help with planning, arrangements and follow-through, working alongside you when you need another capable person.
