Chris David Marshall

After finishing my MA in English in 2006, I left academia to teach art and write novels, none of which were very good. With a desire to improve, I enrolled in Humber School for Writers in Toronto, earning my graduate certificate in creative writing. The following year I took over the grade 12 Writer’s Craft course and began my own role as a writing mentor.

​

Inspired by my love of helping students write better stories, I became a member of Editors Canada in 2024, progressing toward my Graduate Certificate in Professional Editing Standards.

​

I still teach creative writing, but now as a librarian. I write my own stories on my small homestead with my wife and two dogs, surrounded by tall trees and good books.
