Hi,
I'm Belinda Bruce - the force
behind Blurb.
I love language, a good story, stimulating
art and creative design. My passion for the written word, the world of the imagination and visual communication reaches back to my childhood when I would write stories and plays and draw pictures to articulate the universe of ideas and images in my head.
I continue to be involved in the interplay between words, images and ideas in my work as a freelance writer, editor and desktop publisher. I find great pleasure in helping clients communicate their vision in the best possible way.
My background
includes:
- MFA in Creative Writing (UBC,
2001)
- Magazine Writing (Ryerson
Polytechnic University, 1995)
- Eight-Step Editing (Editors'
Association of Canada, 1994)
- BA in English (York University,
1992)
- 14 years of experience in
writing, editing, research and desktop publishing
for magazines, newspapers, publishing houses,
radio, advertising firms, non-profit organizations,
academic institutions and individuals
