From Lissa Millar, Former Editor, Currents Magazine (250 376-1550)
It has been my pleasure to work with this gifted writer…Shannon approaches each assignment with enthusiasm and promptly produces work that is of extremely high quality. The feature stories she has submitted to Currents have been among the best I have seen and have not only served as inspiration, but set the bar for the other writers.

Just wanted to congratulate you and the team for a great article! Reads so well and the photos couldn’t have turned out better. I am impressed!
From Christopher Foulds, Editor, Kamloops This Week (250 374-7467)
Shannon Linden is a natural-born writer whose prose made many a black and white page of Kamloops This Week seem streaked with colour. Dubbed “Desert to Desert,” Shannon’s column was a very popular addition to our thrice-weekly newspaper, infusing our pages with sharp humour, biting wit, poignancy and real lessons in international customs…her tales elicited many responses from readers…I would not hesitate to employ her talents again.
From Building a Dream, Sue Elliot, secretary-treasurer, Salmon River Abbeyfield project
I just received a copy of the Currents magazine with your article about Abbeyfield. I am delighted! What a great job you have done with our story. Thanks again for all your time and the superlative effort you put into the article. Working with you was a pleasure!
