Hi there, my name is Sylvia
I am a freelance writer. I live my words, which are often born in the presence of wild things, written down while burrowed deep in my sleeping bag, and polished by firelight. I write print and online pieces on things outdoor adventure, nature, wildlife, and beyond. My writing combines outdoor experiences—whether in my Canadian Rockies backyard or abroad—with witty, informative storytelling.
I am fascinated with wild places, and the life, culture, and inspiration they contain, and am passionate about encouraging others to explore these places. When I'm not crafting an article or hiking mountains with my children on my back, front and toddling beside, you can find me keeping bees, gardening, practicing photography and painting… all while weaving stories together in my mind.
Have a look around and send me a message. I'd love to connect!
"Sylvia is a pleasure to work with. Not only are her responses and submissions timely and professional, she's clearly an expert in her field. She's easy going with revisions and keen to take on assignments. I highly recommend her as a nature/outdoors writer."
