I started writing before the computer arrived on every desk. I’ve been through a fair bit of hardware since then and continue to learn all kinds of digital tools. Almost always in collaboration with graphic designers, printers, photographers, AV professionals, media managers and technical analysts, I see how being open to learning helps me keep pace with the tools of my trade.

MY TOP THREE RESOURCES
The Canadian Press Stylebook has been my ‘bible’ since the beginning of my writing career. I also keep a copy of their Caps and Spelling book handy because, as they say, some wording is tricky and troublesome. www.thecanadianpress.com
Editors Canada is a thoughtful, professional community created to serve the needs of editors and writers. Their services are many. Their understanding is deep. And their certification program opens doors. www.editors.ca
I highly recommend reading and sharing Digital Marketing Strategy, an open textbook written by Pierre-Yann Dolbec, assistant professor of marketing and Concordia University Research Chair in Complexity and Markets at the John Molson School of Business. This text was released in 2021 and explains how the internet has changed the way we do business and how to effectively market a business online.
As the introduction says – “The first section explains how the Internet has transformed the ways firms have to create value and how consumers experience brands and products. The second section provides an in-depth presentation of a digital marketing framework centered on conversion-based marketing.”
