About us

Inscript is Lynn Sully and Ward Stendahl.

We met as undergraduates at the University of Calgary, sharing an interest in the metaphysical poets, Withnail and I and coffee. Graduating at the top of our class (with Lynn taking the gold medal in humanities), we went on to grad school in English at the University of Toronto.

Employment as writers followed: Lynn as a researcher and technical writer with an environmental consulting company and Ward as a lexicographer and encyclopedic editor on the Canadian Oxford Dictionary.

Moving to Vancouver, we started Inscript in 1996. This provided the perfect outlet for our skills in research, writing and editing. But more importantly, it allowed us to go hiking on the North Shore on afternoons when work was slow.

Those mid-week hiking days are over. But the coffee obsession remains.
