Words Matter

I am a freelance writer and editor with a love for writing about social justice and about how small life changes add up to big world changes. And I love to tell the stories of ordinary people, who are — of course —never ordinary at all.

I also help to bring the right words to campaigns that raise awareness and funds for causes that matter — like fighting malnutrition in the developing world; expanding a non-profit’s facilities so a community can be better served; and raising awareness about the urgent needs of the environment and Canada’s role in protecting it.

My clients include World Vision Canada, World Wildlife Fund Canada, Langham Partnership Canada and other non-profits looking to wrap the right words around the best message. The projects I work on can range from the tiniest of tweets to the longest of reports — and all the newsletters, appeal letters, speeches, brochures, scripts, articles, website copy and ads in-between.

Words matter. The wrong ones chug out exhaust and create traffic-jams. The right words help the reader climb mountains, walk valleys and come out the other end in a slightly different place — well-travelled.
