Hello, and thanks for visiting.

​

With a BA and MA in English literature from Montreal's McGill University, I began my 25 years of word work in Quebec, editing survivor testimonies at a Holocaust oral history archive and then teaching college courses in human rights literature, literature of trauma, and prison writing.

​

Since moving west, I’ve worked as an editor for the Legislative Assembly of BC and wrote the book column for Victoria’s Focus magazine for over a decade.

​

Altogether I’ve authored over 120 articles in publications such as the Literary Review of Canada, CBC’s First Person, The Walrus, This Magazine, The Malahat Review, The British Columbia Review, and more. These often include author/artist interviews, and listening carefully is at the heart of what I do. 

​

Having spent many years delving into other people’s work, I’m also making time for my own creativity and my own stories. 

​

I can be found at various literary community events or at home writing in a converted garden shed on beautiful SḴŦAḴ / Mayne Island, BC.
