About me

I am passionate about fiction and storytelling

and have been all my life. Bookgiddy isn't just

my Instagram username, it's my way of being

in the world. 

 

I am an Author Accelerator certified book coach (fiction). I also hold a Creative Arts diploma from John Abbott College and a BA in journalism from Concordia University. I have participated in numerous writing workshops over the years, including a summer intensive workshop at Humber College. I've read more than 100 books on craft and creative mindset and have studied creativity coaching with Dr. Eric Maisel. 

​Before going freelance I was managing editor of a community newspaper.  I’ve since edited newsletters, written (and ghostwritten), for health clubs, financial planners, and a women’s organization. My fiction and personal essays have appeared in The Toronto Star, The Ottawa Citizen, MORE magazine online, various essay collections and the fiction anthology, The Company We Keep (Buschek books). For two years I published the

e-zine WednesdayWoman.

Reading a writer's draft is thrilling work, which is why I love book coaching. Working with someone as they uncover their best writing and storytelling skills is a privilege I never take lightly. 

I am currently writing a coming-of-age novel set in 1974.

I have been married to the wonderful and wildly supportive Charls (not a typo), for 39 years. We have two amazing grown and married children, a granddaughter and a goldendoodle named Maisy who makes us smile every day.

Lovely letters I received from WednesdayWoman readers:

Laura L. “Just wanted to tell you how much I love reading your column! You are such a good writer and a “human” writer. You speak for every mother, daughter, wife, sister, friend – and have a great (and funny) perspective on things!”

Book Coach & Developmental Editor

​

I am grateful to live and work in Ottawa, Canada, on the traditional, unceded land of the Algonquin Anishinaabe people. As someone who supports writers, I believe stories carry responsibility. This acknowledgement is a reminder for me to listen with respect, to learn from the truths of Indigenous peoples, and to encourage writing that honours the diversity of voices on this land.

As an Author Accelerator certified book coach, I am qualified to coach writers using Author Accelerator's strategy, methods, and materials, but I operate independently of Author Accelerator and am not affiliated with them.
