Jodi DeLong has been a professional freelance writer for over a decade. Although she does some corporate writing for websites and businesses, she especially relishes storytelling, particularly to do with gardening, cats, or bouncing around the North Atlantic on a coast guard ship. She is a contributing writer for Saltscapes magazine, garden columnist for the Halifax Sunday Herald, and the Atlantic Co-operator, and author of The Atlantic Gardener's Greenbook. She gives regular talks on gardening, occasional workshops on the pleasures and challenges of being a freelance writer, and takes most of the photographs that accompany her stories.
Other clients include Reader's Digest, Atlantic Horse and Pony, Aquascapes Lifestyles, Eastern Woods & Waters, Canadian Gardening, CBC Radio 1, Atlantic Books Today, Canadian Living, Birds and Blooms, Nature Canada, Canadian Geographic, Rural Delivery, Atlantic Beef, the Manitoba Co-operator and The Navigator.
Jodi is also editor, photographer, reporter, designer and go-fer of The Canning Gazette, a tiny but beloved monthly community paper in Canning, NS, a post she has lovingly held for more than ten years. In her spare time she gardens profusely, coaxes her longsuffering spouse into digging holes for more plants, and dreams of getting to Sable Island and Hudson's Bay with the Coast Guard.
