ABOUT

 

Hello! And thank you so much for visiting Orange Bonobo and clicking on the about page to learn more about me and the site!



Orange Bonobo Creative Writing is a dream come true for me. Most of us are raised to think that making a living in the arts is just a dream and so I, like most of us, went the traditional route and got an education so I could work the 9 - 5. I have two Bachelor Degrees - one in Science with a major in Biology and Honours in Psychology and an Education degree (Elementary). What I have always wanted to be is a writer and on August 23, 2021 I made that dream come true when I published my first children's picture book, Alison the Astronaut! And now there is no stopping me. Hence the creation of Orange Bonobo Creative Writing!

​
Orange Bonobo got its name from two of my favourite things - the colour orange and my favourite animal - the bonobo chimpanzee. My favourite kind of writing is children's fiction (picture books, beginner novels and young adult novels) and blog/website posts. I am also excited to try my hand at screenwriting. Stay tuned for that!

 

My absolute favourite part of writing is creating my characters. I love everything about this process and I want to share my passion of the process with you through my blog. Through my blog I will also share glimpses into my life and what I have learned about the writing industry (self publishing, freelance writing, blogging, etc.)

I live with my partner, three children and three dogs in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. We all love the arts and sports!
