Not only is Julie
Ferguson
a successful author of four non-fiction books on Canadian history and seven books
for writers and teachers, she is also an accomplished
professional speaker
and trainer. Since Dundurn Press published her first book in 1995, she has been much in
demand. Julie's practical presentations on creative writing and publishing have earned
glowing praise from participants and clients alike, both of whom say that
she is a dynamic speaker at their conferences and in-house workshops.
Clients include the Surrey International Writers' Conference,
many school districts in western Canada, and a community college. Organizations such as the National
Press Club in Ottawa and the World Ship Society have also enjoyed
Julie's lively, well-illustrated presentations on naval
history. She has appeared on TV and local and national radio
talking about Canadian submarines, and her latest book, Sing a
New Song: Portraits of Canada's Crusading Bishops. Vicki Gabereau's CBC Radio listeners voted Julie one of the five "Guests of the Year" in 1996.
She is also a former member of the Canadian Association of Professional
Speakers.
