a picture may be worth a thousand words, but give me a thousand words and I'll tell the full story.

​

​

I'm Carmen, a Canadian freelance writer telling tales about creating, exploring and protecting the natural world. I split my time between British Columbia’s Coast Mountains and Slovenian’s Soča River Valley. I’m a brunet in a family of blondes, a fish in the mountains and a bird underwater. 

​

Passionate about print media, I am a regular contributor for Sidetracked Magazine (UK), BASE Magazine (UK), Mountain Life Magazine (CAN), Coast Mountain Culture (CAN) and Paddling Magazine (CAN). I write online content for NRS Duct Tape Diaries (US) and Pyranha Kayaks (UK).

​

Previously, I have written for Teton Gravity Research, and Outside.com and have done multiple podcasts for The Dirtbag Diaries. I was the editor of Kayak Session Magazine and a staff writer for Paddling Magazine. Presently, I have a column in Mountain Life Magazine (CAN) where my words and watercolours run together teaching skills to folks who aren’t afraid to put down the phone and get their hands dirty. 

​

In addition to storytelling I also provide proofreading services, write social media and website content, and deliver customized communication coaching for various international organizations and projects. I currently manage communications for two nature conservation projects - one based in the Balkans and the other in the Caucasus.

 

Available for freelance assignments or communications contracts.

a story should lure the reader in, let them get lost, give them time to  question themself,

then leave a sparse trail of breadcrumbs to find their way out.

that’s the full story.
