The Pragmatic Writer

Welcome!

The Pragmatic Writer is a blog dedicated to the working writer -- the folks who are seriously planning to have or are midstream in a publishing career. Your hosts are Anne Stephenson (Brzozowski) and Susan Brown. We have been writing individually and collaboratively since we were roommates in college. Together we have published two books -- The Mad Hacker and Something's Fishy at Ash Lake -- and written and co-produced a TV show for the Family Channel, The Amber and Elliot Mysteries. Individually, Anne has written Paper Treasure, The Mysterious Mr. Moon, a column for the Ottawa Citizen and several scripts for Canadian TV. Susan has published The Black Tunnel (reprinted as Hey Chicken Man), Not Yet Summer, and You're Dead, David Borelli! as well as multiple magazine and newspaper articles. Together and individually we have taught writing classes in colleges and have been speakers at conferences all over North America.

We have taken time out from our writing careers to pursue some other interests -- Susan has been teaching in elementary, high school and university classes in Washington state; Anne has been remodeling a 100 year old house in the wine district of South Eastern Ontario. But now we're writing again. New projects, new excitement and a new intention to leap into the digital writing community.

Hope you'll drop in again to see what's happening and what information we have to offer.

Now, quit reading this blog and start writing. Good luck!
