Commercial Creative Writer in Newfoundland

Writing can sometimes feel like that old game of telephone, where your unclear message gets murkier as it moves along. Unsure whether your writing or ad copy sends the right message? You need a commercial creative writer to eliminate the interference. Whether you need marketing support for your business or a developmental partner in your creative writing practice, I’ll help you say what you mean.

As a professional writer, my practice runs the gamut from web content to journalism to short stories and poetry. Because I don’t work for an agency, my rates are competitive and my service is personal and responsive. Get in touch with me today to discuss your needs.

My education and experience

A Newfoundland-based professional writer, I appreciate language in its many forms, from the intimacy of the home-grown dialect to the clarity of grammatically precise copy.

Here’s a quick rundown of my writing and language credentials:

• Master of Arts in English and Creative Writing from University of New Brunswick
• Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Language and Literature, Creative Writing Diploma from Memorial University of Newfoundland
• 20+ years in marketing, ad copywriting, web content writing
• Bylined writing published by the New York Times, CBC, Zoomer magazine, Fodor’s Travel Guides, and multiple Canadian literary journals.
• Experience in editing and proofreading for literary journals, academic papers, business reports
• Experience in German-English translation, French-English translation

I’ve spent a decade as a remote freelancer, during which time I also worked for two years as a full-time content writer and editor. That adds up to a lot of words!

As a creative writer, I’ve received the Gregory J. Power Poetry Prize, awarded by Memorial University of Newfoundland. My fiction, non-fiction, and poetry have been published in numerous Canadian literary journals, including the Newfoundland Quarterly, the Antigonish Review, Windsor Review, Room magazine, and Riddle Fence.
