About Peg Ainsley
Ontario-born Peg Ainsley came west to the Kootenays in her mid-20s, and continued moving west until she ended up in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. In 2011, she chose to be closer to family and moved to the Alberta prairie sunshine.
She has made her living writing corporately for most of her adult life. On the non-corporate side, Peg began writing screenplays 10 years ago, and she has kept a journal for so long that she now has about 40 journals in storage.
Now in her 60s, Peg brings to her work the perspective of wisdom and humour that comes from the soul. Her writing features a lifetime of experience, Peg's acute powers of observation, and the joy of a creative, determined spirit. And she has not forgotten her corporate expertise. She offers everything from web content to promo materials through www.writerforhireltd.com and is available to help, whatever your location, with all your writing needs.
