Once upon a time there was a woman with an insatiable curiosity about the world around her. It seemed that life was a kaleidoscope of fascinations, waiting to be explored and shared with others. So she became a freelance writer, a storyteller who celebrates the world around us in written word.
Jodi DeLong has now been a professional freelance writer for over a decade. Although she does some corporate writing for websites and businesses, she continues to particularly enjoy celebrating the wonders of life in Atlantic Canada.
She is a contributing writer for Saltscapes magazine, garden columnist for the Halifax Sunday Herald and the Atlantic Co-operator, and author of The Atlantic Gardener’s Greenbook. She gives regular talks on gardening, occasional workshops on the pleasures and challenges of freelancing, and takes most of the photographs that accompany her stories.
Other clients include Reader’s Digest, Atlantic Horse and Pony, Coastal Life, Rural Delivery, Eastern Woods & Waters, Canadian Gardening, CBC Radio 1, Atlantic Books Today, Canadian Living, Birds and Blooms, Nature Canada, Canadian Geographic, Atlantic Beef, the Manitoba Co-operator and The Navigator.
Jodi is also editor, photographer, reporter, designer and go-fer of The Canning Gazette, a tiny but beloved monthly community paper in Canning, NS. In her spare time she gardens profusely, coaxes her longsuffering spouse into digging holes for more plants, and dreams of visiting Sable Island and Hudson’s Bay with the Coast Guard. She’s a former director of the Professional Writers Association of Canada and a longtime member of the Writers Federation of Nova Scotia.
