Alma Pearce is an indie freelance writer living in the insatiable city of Vancouver Canada.
Born in the tiny town of Rosedale (British Columbia), Alma was raised in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, beneath the nightlight of the northern sky. In her primary years, she struggled behind in subjects of reading and writing due to undiagnosed dyslexia. At age ten she wrote her first poem (it was called The Strawberry and spoiler – the strawberry gets turned into a smoothie), and immediately began calling herself a writer despite her teacher’s well-meaning words: “you can’t be a writer if you don’t know how to spell”. Alas, the future has spellcheck.
Alma Pearce has since dedicated herself to the pursuit of the arts, reaching into the pool of visual arts, animation, film, music, and photography, but always returning to writing as her first and truest love. She has been granted the BC Achievements Scholarship as well as UBC’s Presidential Scholars Award, speaking to her academic mind and dedication to her craft. At nineteen she moved to Vancouver and began ghost writing; a leap of faith that would change her life forever.
A Bit About It is Alma’s way of giving a little love back to her city, and to all the brilliant souls who share space here.
