Copywriting
Website Copy
I am the sole copywriter for the Amherst Island website and am responsible for all articles, news, notices, and other content on the page. I review and recommend edits to event lists and business profiles as well.
The goal of this website is to generate interest in the island from potential or planned visitors, to inform residents on issues relevant to their lives (dump closures, ferry service interruptions, etc), and to provide a resource where information about the island can be found.

Specifically of note:
Amherst Island Beacon
The Amherst Island Beacon has existed since the 1970s as a monthly newsletter in my home town. When its first editor retired he approached me to continue to the Beacon tradition and begin the search for a new permanent editor. I updated the branding, curated content, and contributed to this great institution of my home town until its new, permanent editor could be found.
Blogging
Blogging is one of those oh, so important content pieces when it comes to building an online presence. I wrote my first blog before the word was invented – back in the days when everything on the Internet was centred down the middle and coded by hand – I’m pretty sure I even used Comic Sans. The horror. I don’t think anyone could have known then what blogging was destined to become, but I for one have sure enjoyed watching it happen.
