Hi! I'm Dorothea Helms, The Writing Fairy. I coax closet writers to emerge and make their magic known. I also write, edit, deliver keynote speeches and teach creative writing to adults. From business writing to marketing materials, articles, speeches, humour and more, I provide topnotch professional services - and I'm fun to work with. Let's talk.

One of the most common things writers approach me with is this comment: “I’d like to pick your brain.”
I always say, “You’re welcome to what’s left of it, but some days the pickins are pretty slim!”
In fact, I’ve learned a LOT over the years that I’ve been a freelance writer and editor – and every now and then I remember some of it.
I’ve decided to share some of my moments of lucidity with you in a series of short audio clips. I’ll add new ones regularly, so be sure to check back from time to time.
And if you like what I have to say, hire me to come out to your group or business and I’ll do a fabulous writing workshop for you.
