Portfolio

WeightWatchers

As the author of over 350 articles for WeightWatchers, my articles have covered a broad array of topics including nutrition, food preparation, favourite ingredients, and cooking hacks. The content I wrote to support the launch of ZeroPoint foods was used site wide and across social media. My articles have received well over 2 million views since publication.

In addition to article writing, my work for WeightWatchers has been used for member recruitment and retention, email newsletters, and social media.

Aisle

I pitched, researched, and wrote articles for Aisle (formerly called Lunapads) during their rebrand. Writing from an expository and persuasive angle, I wrote in-depth articles that ranged from health topics (fibroids, migraines) to social issues (period poverty, period tracking apps). My articles were published on the Aisle website, used in email campaigns, and as social media content.

Delicious Living

At Delicious Living magazine I am the author of the monthly Now Trending column. With strict attention to AP style and citation guidelines and the interest of the magazine’s key readerships, I write about what’s hot and trending in the world of natural health.

Alive

I write articles and business/philanthropy profiles for Alive magazine’s print and web publications. Recent profiles include Rainforest Foundation US, Save the Rainforest Bars, and Cake Therapy.

Healthy Way

I pitched, researched, and wrote articles for the Healthy Way website. Research included sourcing experts in the field as well as conducting and transcribing interviews.

Food Bloggers of Canada

I wrote and photographed a monthly cheese column for Food Bloggers of Canada with the goal of celebrating Canadian cheese. Drawing from my considerable experience as a cheesemonger and food writer, this series of articles seeks to demystify and have fun with all of the wonderful cheeses Canada has to offer.

About

Hi! My name is Ashley Linkletter I’m a writer and editor in Vancouver, Canada. I grew up in southeastern Ontario and graduated with a BA in English Language & Literature from Huron University College. I blame this description of watermelon, from Gerald Durrell’s “My Family and Other Animals,” for putting me on a path to food writing:

“Watermelons, their flesh as crisp and cool as pink snow, were formidable botanical cannonballs, each one big enough and heavy enough to obliterate a city. The green and black figs burst with the pressure of their sap, and in the pink splits the gold-green rose beetles sat dazed by the rich, never-ending largesse. Trees had been groaning with the weight of cherries, so that the orchards looked as though some great dragon had been slain among the trees, bespattering the leaves with scarlet and wine-red drops of blood.”
Gerald Durrell, “My Family and Other Animals”

In the past, I’ve worked as a library page, a lab assistant in a microbial testing facility, a dog walker, an invoicer, a quiz writer, a cheesemonger, and now as a professional writer and editor—a career I’ve been enjoying for over a decade.

When I’m not writing, I love cooking and listening to music (the theme of my personal blog Music With Dinner), going for long walks, continuing my yoga streak, and reading as much horror fiction as I can get my hands on.
