With ten years of experience, Suzanne (Sue) Bowness writes about a variety subjects, including history, higher education, business, technology, travel, arts, and books.

When Sue handles larger projects, she relies on a team of fellow professionals represented by CodeWord Communications to help her get projects done reliably and on deadline.

Currently based in Toronto, Canada, Sue began her career in magazines as Online Editor at the late Saturday Night magazine. Since then she's worked as a freelancer to develop a solid reputation for consistently producing good work, producing everything from brochures to newsletters to articles to reports. She loves the challenge of making even dry topics fun and readable.

Sue's first love of magazines even comes through in the academic work she's undertaken - to write a PhD thesis on nineteenth century Canadian periodicals.

Sue is past president of the Ottawa Chapter of the Professional Writers Association of Canada and a member of the Editors Association of Canada.

Finally, Sue also has a passion for creative writing. She just published her first book of poetry, The Days You've Spent, with Tightrope Books, and is working on several other creative projects. Check out her poetry book here:
