Woodward On Words

I am now a full-time writer having retired from work as a lighthouse keeper, full- and part-time from 2008-2021 on Canada's West Coast. When Life is tough, for a friend or myself, I try to rally with the expression: Onwords! Upwords! hence the title of this blog. At one brief point in my previous career in publishing, I called myself Wayword Promotions and helped colleagues figure out publishing contracts, organize reading tours and the like. Now I'm relaunching my own writing career. Onwords!

About Me

My photo
Caroline Woodward
Published writer from age sixteen onwards but it's taken me a long time to find peace and quiet and focus and material to write about in the 'right' way. Now is the time and the place and life is wonderful. I am grateful, almost beyond words, but not quite.
