Dylanna Fisher

Professional Writer

I’ve fallen in love with writing and storytelling and have built my career around it. I started my career as a journalist because I enjoy sharing stories.

After graduating from MacEwan University in Edmonton with a Bachelor of Communication, majoring in journalism, I joined The Institute for Inclusive, Investigative, and Innovative Journalism (I3J) at Concordia University in Montréal, Québec, as a fellowship participant. During my time there, I contributed to research, interviews, and writing for “Tainted H₂O,”  an award-winning national collaborative journalism investigation into lead contamination in Canadian tap water. Our work received the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) Dan McArthur Award and the Data Journalism Award from the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ), and we were nominated for several other awards.

From there, I began a career as a writer in Edmonton and the surrounding area. I worked as a writer for numerous Canadian-run businesses and non-profits, including NAIT, Amre Supply, Zag Creative, Switching Styles, Westlock Memorial Hall, and Homeward Trust Edmonton. ​
