Lois has loved words from a young age and vividly remembers her first taste of editing in her early teens. Her friend had written an episode for a TV show. Lois felt the story lacked interest, so she rewrote several parts. That was long before she knew the terms plot, conflict, climax and resolution and that editors make suggestions, not rewrites!

After college, while teaching at the middle school level, Lois was asked to co-author a manual on Science Fair Projects. There she rediscovered her gift of writing. When she left teaching for mission work, her monthly letters reflected her way with words and her editing suggestions improved her co-workers’ writing.

Years later, as a freelance writer, she had hundreds of local news, advertising and sports articles published. During her retail employment in various bookstores, Lois learned about the publishing industry and customer preferences.

Today, she is excited to integrate her skills from teaching, writing and selling books to help people get their message out in a compelling and professional fashion.

As a bronze member of The Christian PEN, Lois is actively developing her natural skill to become a recognized, professional editor. 

Originally from Pennsylvania, she now calls Alberta, Canada her home. She met her husband at a Christian writers’ conference and they both volunteer to tutor newcomers in English.
