I am a writer and editor in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. I have been writing about Canada’s North for more than 25 years and am well-known North of 60 as an editor, magazine writer, editorialist, columnist, commentator, political analyst and communicator. If it has to do with the written word, I’ve probably done it.
Workshops and Keynotes
I am now offering readings of my work, workshops in Personal Writing, Magazine Writing and Self-Publishing, as well as keynotes on topics related to writing and/or the life and politics of northern Canada. If you’re interested, contact me at Annelies Pool.
Read my essay Family Spilling Over in Cup of Comfort for the Grieving Heart. Order the book here.
In recent years, I have been following my heart and writing fiction. I haven’t published any yet but I’m told it’s just a matter of time. Meanwhile, I have given some very well-received public readings of this work at the NorthWords Writers Festival.
My first book, iceberg tea, a collection of personal stories I have published over the years, was published by Prelude Books in May, 2010. See iceberg tea for more information.
