Katie Pedlar

C’est Moi: Katie Pedlar!
From a young age, I have overestimated how much the world needs my opinion and that's a quality shared by many writers. Whether you acknowledge it or not, Peterborough is a special place and it’s filled with stories worth telling. I am happy and humbled to be part of that. Deadlines have a way of turning me to stone. When I am not grappling with deadline paralysis, I am shredding it on my mountain bike at the Harold Town trails, knitting two then purling two and chipping away at my undergraduate degree. If you’ve come to realise that your story is worth telling let me know. Remember: The Otonabee is where I wanna be!
