My award-winning books for young readers make complex issues accessible, while my freelance work unpacks a wide range of subjects, from international development to how to fold a fitted sheet.
As a book editor, I've collaborated with many of Canada's brightest literary talents for children and young adults and produced high-impact promotional materials: tip sheets, catalogue copy, cover copy, and more.
I'm an enthusiastic promoter of non-profits that support children's literacy and education. If your organization works in this area or otherwise supports children's rights and wellbeing, it would be my privilege to spread the word about your efforts.
I'd love to help tell your story.
