Meet Writerscape’s Founder
Amy Stuart is an experienced educator and the #1 bestselling author of three novels. Her teaching career began in Toronto’s public high school system nearly twenty years ago. As an English teacher and guidance counsellor, Amy worked primarily with youth and adults from marginalized communities. When her first novel hit the bestseller list in 2016, Amy shifted away from full-time teaching. She founded Writerscape in 2018 to help both creative writers and corporate professionals improve their written communication skills. Amy believes wholeheartedly that clear and accessible writing is both a vital professional standard and an issue of equity and inclusion.
Amy has a Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Guelph and a Bachelor of Education from OISE/UofT. In 2012, she graduated with high distinction from her Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at UBC. She has facilitated workshops for corporate groups both small and large and can tailor her courses and offerings according to different needs or goals. Amy is a member of Plain Language Association International, a group dedicated to promoting plain language communication in professional settings.
A lifelong hockey player, Amy is one of the only female head coaches in the Greater Toronto Hockey League, the world’s largest competitive youth hockey organization. She lives in Toronto with her husband and their three sons.
