Sean Robert

Hello! My name is Sean Robert and I am a freelance writer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. I have been published in The National Post, Xtra, Outwords Inc. and LOV Magazine. As a budding ginger, I grew up on the prairies in Winnipeg, Manitoba and graduated from the University of Winnipeg in 2009 with an English degree and a dream of moving to t... he West Coast to write.

Working closely with the Editor, I contributed feature articles, wrote copy and assisted with editing.

In the style of Bridget Jones, Carrie Bradshaw and Adrian Mole, Rugged Fox is the humorous tale of a single gay redhead, whose search for a husband proves to be, well, never-ending. Featuring outrageous outfits and a colourful cast of characters, Rugged Fox serves up a steady dose of humour paired with delightful amounts of insight and wit. I hope to adapt this work into a novel one day. In 2015, I traveled to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to write a piece for The National Post.
