Writing for Periodicals<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

My journalistic writing moves beyond straight-edged fact to the nuance of narrative and personality. Equipped with an M.A. in journalism, a keen interest in life and extensive writing experience, I paint the sort of word pictures that draw readers in and invite insight, no matter what the medium. Much of my work for not-for-profit and other clients also capitalizes on my ability to interview deeply and weave the results into compelling stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since launching Words that Sing, I have published in numerous periodicals, including Alberta Views, Alberta Venture, Homemakers, Legacy, Nursing PRN, Avenue, Scarlett <\/em>and TechLife. <\/em>Along the way, I\u2019ve tackled such mind-expanding topics as life in the future, entrepreneurial happiness, education\u2019s discontents, sandwiched caregiving, small business benchmarks and family business succession. You\u2019ll also find profiles about such strong women as Alberta Lieutenant Governor Lois Hole and LEED-certified architect Vivian Manasc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kudos:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJust finished reading your article in the Edmonton Journal. Your words took me on the trip in a way I could never manage now (if ever). You had me, in the middle of my kitchen, swapping mosquitoes, hearing the loons, marvelling at their speckled eggs, trudging behind the porters…. It’s a clich\u00e9, but you DO have a way with words. Always delighted to read a piece of yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
