I'm Ashley, a freelance writer based in Toronto.

I’m interested in writing news stories, website copy, product descriptions, press releases and lifestyle and culture content.

While I appreciate simplicity, clarity, and collective adherence to orthography in news and copy, as an aesthete, I swoon over the modernist free-verse of e.e. cummings, marvel at the invented argot of Burgess's A Clockwork Orange, and feast on the whimsy, and ingenuity of works like Saunder’s Lincoln in the Bardo.

I believe words matter and that finding the right ones is a form of high art.

ASHLEY CHISHOLM

Freelance Writer

When I'm not copywriting and creating brand content I write wine reviews and poetry.

I’m currently writing my first novel and often lay awake at night thinking about the cover art and typeface.

As a kid I was often teased for using big words, now I lean into my polysyllabics and champion the value of abstract nouns like floccinaucinihilipilification.

If I were a book I’d be a romance novel

In a single word, I’m heartfelt.
