Book review: The Hakawati

Middle eastern storytelling combines mythology and realism seamlessly.

English speakers around the world mark the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible this year. Beloved for its beautiful language, the book represents the culmination of English biblical scholarship and tradition.

Review: Geez Magazine

There are publications to cater to many different corners of Canada’s religious landscape, but it’s safe to say that before Geez magazine came along, no one had thought of writing specifically for “the over-churched, out-churched, un-churched and maybe even the un-churchable.”

(Oui, je parle aussi français!)

Hi! I’m a content writer, journalist and editor with graduate-level training and over a decade of full-time experience producing materials for national and international audiences.

I believe that nearly every topic is interesting under the right lens. Some stories practically tell themselves, which is always a pleasure, but I’ll gladly take on the challenge of turning something complex or seemingly dry into into a stylish and accessible read.

My clients have included Reader’s Digest magazine, the International Labour Organization, the Trans Canada Trail, Concordia Magazine, the Canadian Cancer Society, Best Health magazine, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, McGill University, Kids Brain Health Network, Broadview Magazine, the Blue Cross and Ubisoft, among others.
