Caro Bégin
Writer and WordPress Developer
I write fiction under two pen names, and I’ve been a self-employed WordPress developer for over ten years.
In 2019, I started a platform where I offer custom websites for authors.
Before that, I had various careers, including two years overseas, teaching English as a second language. The two years prior to that were spent teaching various subjects at a naval engineering school. Based on the feedback I got, I’m pretty good at simplifying complex things and providing clear instructions. I’ll let you be the judge of that.
If you attend writers’ conferences, you may have met me (most likely while hanging out at the bar). I’m in my early forties, I have long, curly brown hair, and I speak with a faint French-Canadian accent.
