Zoey Duncan!

Calgary, Alberta

Zoey Duncan is an author, journalist, roller derby athlete, cycling nerd and joke-writer.

In 2015, Zoey published her first book. The Department: A Surgeon's Memories... Before I Forget was co-written with Dr. Norman Schachar and tells his funny stories, largely of the Department of Surgery at the University of Calgary, but starting from his first diaper change, through medical school, fellowships, sneaking his future wife into his apartment above the hospital operating rooms and a good dose of political intrigue. It's available now at the University of Calgary's medical bookstore.

Zoey is a writing coach for professionals who are ready to write their knowledge into book form. Her approach is strategic and fun. She gets her clients out of the writing dead zone they fall into when going it alone, saving them time, money and sanity.

Zoey is also a Smartphone Producer at the Calgary Herald, where she edits, curates and writes news articles for a mobile audience.

Now that her first book is on shelves, Zoey is seeking the next great book client who is ready to collaborate on the memoir project they've been dreaming of. Get in touch if this is you!
