The Write Beginnings
Tracy has had a passion for writing since the Fourth Grade. In Junior High, she submitted her first manuscript for publication. Her love of literature led her to study English in University. After completing her degree in 2000, Tracy went to work at an insurance agency as the assistant in the commercial department. In the fall of 2002, she ventured back to school to pursue her dream of teaching.
Immediately upon graduation, Tracy was offered her dream job teaching Language Arts and Social Studies in Grade 8 and 9. Until the birth of her second child, she spent each day discussing history, great literature and writing skills. In Grade 9, students are instructed in the writing forms they will use throughout their lives: expository and persuasive writing and business letters. While she loved teaching, Tracy became frustrated with the disconnect between these necessary skills and the students’ view of them at that age. As text-messaging became more prevalent, Tracy noticed a shift away from correct wording and grammar not just in the schools, but through all communication. Signage, business cards, brochures, articles, and books were being published with major errors more and more frequently.
In 2005, Tracy’s husband launched Voyager Photography. This began the family’s journey into the small business world. It very quickly became apparent that small business owners need maximum ROI on both their money and their time. While major corporations have the assistance of copy editors and advertising agencies, small businesses must make the most of their own resources. There was obviously a need for big-business resources in the small business market. In 2008 The Write Support was founded to meet the need for accessible editorial support.
In March 2010 The Write Support went full-time and ventured beyond articles and news and into full length books. In November 2010 Tracy added Instructional Design to her resume: writing, editing, and teaching – a perfect fit!
Tracy married her best friend, Dave, in 2001. In 2006 they had their son, Paul. In 2009 daughter Mayah completed their family. Together they love to explore nature, discuss great literature and spend time playing. Tracy’s favourite way to spend a Canadian winter day is to curl up with a good book, or a new notebook and pen, and some fancy hot chocolate in her library-office. In the summer, Tracy can be found in her garden.
