Lorina Stephens

Over the past 40 years I’ve worked all sides of the publishing desk: journalist, ghost-writer, author, editor, publisher. I have four novels, two collections of short fiction, and three non-fiction books in publication.

For 12 years I operated Five Rivers Publishing, giving voice to over 30 Canadian authors, and publishing over 100 books, some of which went on to be short-listed for awards.

I co-edited with Susan MacGregor, Tesseracts Twenty-Two: Alchemy and Artifacts. 

I’m also pleased to be a reviewer and editor at On Spec Magazine.

In the past I’ve filled the following positions:

• freelance journalist and columnist Orangeville Banner
• freelance journalist and assistant editor Orangeville Today
• freelance journalist The Canadian Author and Bookman
• freelance journalist and assistant editor Country Estate Magazine
• publisher and editor Five Rivers Publishing
