    ▬ ABOUT ME ▬

    I’m a writer, freelance editor, and podcaster. I was an academic librarian for over 30 years, working at university and research libraries in several cities in Canada and the US. After I retired, I moved to St. John’s, Newfoundland, in 2023. I’ve indie-published four books, have hosted a few other podcasts, and have done a lot of writing and editing, both professionally and personally.

    There is not just “one” Newfoundland English. There are many variations in vocabulary and pronunciation and grammar across the province. But some things are very common. ▬
