Patricia Travers: Poet & Author
Bachelor's Degree in Applied Communications in Professional Writing
& Certification in Journalism
Patricia Travers is a 1st year Gen X'er who is living in Alberta, Canada. Currently a Budtender, Patricia is pursuing her retirement plan of becoming a full-time writer. When she isn't working on a creative writing project, you can find her in her garden talking with her crows.
The Travers Publishing House was founded in 2006 by Patricia Travers. In dire necessity to complete her practicum, Patricia created the Travers Publishing House and published her first two books, Amara and Ursula's Umbrellas.
In addition to this, she created a book called Night Time Whispers, which was a collaboration with her daughter's kindergarten class. Patricia had each student draw a picture to match each of the poems that would be included in the book. Then she carefully chose three pictures from every student to appear in the book. Together with her community, they did a fundraiser and purchased a copy of the book for each student. Patricia's vision and message were to give it your best and overcome your limitations. Patricia herself struggled horribly in school as a child, but overcame the limitations. After graduating, the Travers Publishing House became a creative platform for her work.
