Welcome to jennygates.com!

This site will introduce you to me, my work as a keynote speaker, book editor and creative writer, and other entities and pursuits in which I am involved.

mission

To change the world one word at a time.

goals

  • give audiences something to laugh about, something to cry about, and something to remember when they leave
  • find the magic in the manuscript and mould it into a masterpiece
  • create fictional and non-fictional characters that entertain, engage, educate, excite, enthrall and endear themselves to – and stay with – readers and audiences long after they meet them

who is jenny gates

  • a true blue Aussie who moved from Sydney, Australia, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, to make snow angels and have an accent
  • a CanAussie (dual citizen of Australia and Canada) and an ambassador and promoter of all things Australian – “You can take the girl out of Australia, but you can’t take Australia out of the girl!”
  • a keynote speaker, book editor and creative writer, half of the Aussie duo up from down under, and project designer for Corroboree
  • editor of The Southern Yarn and the media and communications director for the Down Under Club of Winnipeg
