Communicating with care is peace work.
I practice and teach the art of intentional written communication for a more deeply interconnected and understanding world.

Communicating with each other
I offer writing guidance and ghostwriting services for people, organizations, and movements — especially in helping, justice, and environmental fields — who have meaningful and often difficult or complex messages to communicate.
Have me write for you
(with your support).
I work with personal, academic, scientific, and micro-business clients to write websites, letters, speeches, tributes, reports, educational materials, missions, social media posts, and even sometimes that really sensitive text. Anything that feels hard to write or complicated to explain but important to express, I would love to help you put to words.
Write for yourself
(with my support).
When we have something difficult to write, starting can be the hardest part. How do we find that beginning point? And once begun, how do we express everything we want to say so that it can be received and understood? To support you, I’m developing a collection of step-by-step writing guidebooks for specific, differently-hard writing tasks.
I’m Carrie, but my dad called me Care.
I’ve been a professional writer, ghostwriter, and communicator for two decades. I’m also a city girl who grows tomatoes, harvests purslane, and feels most understood by the wild phlox that sprang up in her backyard one summer. I help people take care in finding the words for hard, beautiful, complex, and important things. And I help people use language intentionally to deepen relationships with each other and the natural world. Read more >

This is a gift.
Making the Internet a Place of Belonging is a very, very introductory guide to inclusive writing for writers who care about words and don’t want to leave anyone out. It’s a practical starting place for considering (and reconsidering) the language we use around gender, race, disability and illness, and it includes tips for writing our websites (and social media posts) in ways that are friendlier to screen-readers, too. Words are another way to care.
Carrie Klassen’s writing is like her: clear, open-hearted, and wise. Reading what she writes gives me clarity and nuance, makes me more compassionate and open-minded, helps me understand more deeply the world and myself.
Oriah Mountain Dreamer, author of The Invitation
I'm committed to nurturing eco-literacy.
I write for clients across many fields, including literal ones. Part of my response to the climate crisis is to collaborate with conservation scientists, researchers, and academics, using language to help people notice, appreciate, love, and protect our shared natural world.
My writing specialization includes environmental science communication, and I am a member of the Canadian Network for Environmental Education and Communication (EECOM).

Please stay in touch.
I have ideas for workshops in fields and woodlands, communing with flowers and waterfalls, near to me here in Toronto/Tkaronto and far. I will also be publishing new self-reflection and writing guidebooks and nature communication resources in coming months. If any of this sounds interesting, sign up to be notified so I can let you know about the next gathering, gift, offering, or flash sale.
