Laura Wershler discovered a love for editing the words of other while earning a certificate in journalism (2011) from Mount Royal University. She brings to her editing and writing decades of experience as a sexual and reproductive health advocate, commentator, and educator. Her work has appeared in various newspapers, journals, online media, and the anthology Without Apology: Writings on Abortion in Canada (2016). Two personal essays about women’s aging will appear in other anthologies published in 2021. One is from her memoir-in-progress about her role as advocate and companion to her mother in deep old age.
