Erin McCarty
Over the past two years, Erin McCarty has been exploring her passion for the written word and forging a career in freelance writing. A 2010 graduate of the SAIT Journalism Arts diploma program, Erin has published articles in SEE Magazine (Edmonton), The Calgary Herald, the Red Deer Express and in several magazines published by Venture Publishing (Grip Magazine, Alberta Innovators, WE Magazine and Aspire Magazine, to name a few). She also has experience creating newsletters, brochures, annual reports, and in technical writing and copy-editing. At SAIT, Erin was the News Editor for her college newspaper, The Weal, for a year and a half. She wrote everything from news briefs to features to web copy.
Erin also spent four months as a reporter/photographer for the Lac La Biche Post (September 2010-December 2010), a community paper in northern Alberta. She covered everything from entertainment, community events, and hard news, as well as writing feature stories and advertorials. She also became familiar with writing web copy and breaking news. She also fostered a new appreciation for photography, which she also pursues on a freelance basis.
Prior to attending SAIT, Erin completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in English at the University of Alberta in 2007 and takes great enjoyment in dabbling in creative non-fiction writing.
Erin had a keen eye for detail and enjoys researching every aspect of every story she touches. Her curiosity to constantly learn more makes her writing interesting and compelling, and it also allows her to tackle subject areas she isn’t as knowledgeable in and deliver a quality piece of work. She is known as a stickler for grammar, and her CP Style book is never far from reach.
