Who is The Author's Writer?

My name is Wendy S and I have been writing since I could hold a pencil in my tiny hand.

At first, I used writing as a medium to develop my voice during a time when children were told they needed to be seen and not heard. 

I started penning short stories, then typed plays and later moved on to journal writing and poetry when I suffered a tragic loss.

In college and university, I studied literature, writing, and languages. I have an M.A. in English, a B.A. in Linguistics, and a B.A. in English.

I speak three languages other than English and have travelled throughout the world. I have studied many living languages and others long forgotten.

I am a college teacher of writing with more than 20 years of teaching experience, and I am also a journalist, having written for local, national, international, and digital publications for more than 20 years. I am trained as a dyslexia reading specialist and tutor.

I find peace and solace in nature and enjoy the company of intelligent people and cats.
