Plain Language: Steps to Success
An October 30 event is coming up at Selkirk College in Castlegar that will prove valuable for anyone who wants to be a better communicator. After all, it's easier for anyone to accept, or agree with something they can understand.

With a keen interest in new media, spanning 15 years, she has become a web/social/e-media service provider; published plain language writer/editor; web and new media trainer; event organizer; videographer; blogger; and fiction writer. She recently moved from England back to Canada and has settled in Rossland.
