My mother used to tell me I should be a teacher. I resisted her advice for many years, but she knew me well.

I now teach in classrooms and on the web, at conferences and  seminars. I love teaching writing and have done courses for the Alberta Adult Education Department, SWIG (Saskatchewan), Inscribe Christian Writers Fellowship and Write Canada (The Word Guild)

I have taught short story writing, fiction, memoir, poetry and devotional writing .

What people have said:

"Marcia has something to say and says it well  - a terrific speaker"

"Marcia's session was an excellent encouragement to write. Her vulnerability, openness, and honesty permeate her writing and her speaking."

"Wonderful speaker, profound message. Marcia has the ability to hold everyone's attention."

"I really appreciated Marci's experience and perspective in particular. She offered concrete suggestions that will help me improve my writing."
