Hi. I’m Kim Siever.

I’m a freelance writer based in Lethbridge, Alberta. I’ve been freelancing since 2013, and prior to that, I was an in-house copywriter for a small business here in Southern Alberta.

In 2020, I transitioned from doing commercial writing to writing political news. I still take on commercial writing and editing work from time to time, however.
