Dilys Leman
writer & editor
Welcome.
I am a writer and editor with more than 20 years of communications experience in
education, the arts, cultural heritage, sustainable urban development and health.
​
I began my career as a teacher at a First Nations school. Other career highlights
have included seven years as a magazine writer for the National Gallery of Canada,
and the editing and management of content for historical exhibitions curated by
Library and Archives Canada.
​
My unique mix of analytical and creative ability has served to make me a highly
versatile writer and editor. I have created diverse content for different purposes and
audiences. Examples include:
​
-
translating employment and labour market research into clear, accessible prose;
-
conveying visual artists’ forays into the surreal, the symbolic and the mythic;
-
writing successful grant proposals that secured significant funding for innovation in postsecondary education.
​
My services have supported the work of cultural agencies, publicly funded colleges and universities, a First Nations heritage centre, arts organizations, foundations and international development banks.
I welcome new clients including educators, historians, museum specialists and Indigenous organizations working in health, education and environmental advocacy.
