I have been in "the word business" one way or another since the 1970s. As a staffer at The Ottawa Citizen daily newspaper, I both wrote and edited copy. I've also worked in the federal government editing books, reports and manuals, and writing promotional and educational materials. Now I freelance for local and national magazines, and various organizations.
I've been a regular contributor to Heritage, the Heritage Canada Foundation's national quarterly magazine, since 1997.
I also write for each issue of the Ottawa Outdoors Magazine and have a blog on the popular online magazine Women's Cycling.
I'm now offering my services as a writing coach. I've just edited the funny, inspirational book Following Daisies with first-time author Heather Pardon. If you've always wanted to write a book, I'm here to help!
