Glynis Belec, an award-winning freelance writer, columnist, children’s author and private tutor, faces each day with hope and thanksgiving. She rejoices daily and is constantly reminded about looking at the world through child-sized eyes. Glynis began her writing career in 1986 and for eleven years she wrote a slice of life editorial in her local newspaper. Soon her column got picked up by another newspaper and she was sharing her sense of humour and love for the written word with an ever-expanding audience. Glynis enjoys writing people profiles, short stories for audiences of every age and she particularly loves talking to children about writing. She is fascinated by the way people communicate, live out their faith, and make choices and she marvels daily about the way God has opened so many doors for her in her writing career. Glynis loves capturing life in words and can’t wait for tomorrow so she can feel inspired all over again. writer@glynisbelec.com
