LAUREN SMOLEN JOHNSON

Professional writer, editor and author

Bloom & Quill represents my two passions - gardening and writing, the latter being my first love. I feel a great sense of accomplishment in finding the right words for any situation, whether it's a catchy tagline for an ad campaign or step 36 in a lengthy instruction manual. 


In addition to my credentials below, I'm a small business owner, which means I'm no stranger to working hard. I'm also friendly and respectful of other people's time. I will always return your call, text or email in a timely manner - a communications professional who's good at communicating, go figure!

Credentials

  • 15+ years of senior-level marketing communications experience in the sectors of commerce, insurance and higher education 
  • Master's Degree in Professional Writing from Chatham University
  • Professional Certificate in Digital Communications from Western University
  • Diploma in Public Relations from Western University
  • Bachelor of Arts Degree from Western University

Publications

  • My writing has been featured in a wide range of communications with national audiences such as websites, marketing materials and ad campaigns.
  • I edit the award-winning local history magazine, Marathon of History.
  • My debut non-fiction humour novel is available at Bloom & Quill and on Amazon.
  • In my spare time, I'm working on my first fiction novel.
