Southside Communications was launched in 2000 by Patti Ryan, who has been a
writer and editor for more than 15 years.
While Patti continues to do most of the writing and editing at Southside, the
company has expanded over the years and now also relies on the services of
other talented writing and editing associates as well as a translator, French
editor and graphic designer. Check back soon for their profiles.
PATTI RYAN has an Honours degree in English Literature from McGill University
and a Master's degree in journalism from Carleton University. She has been
running Southside Communications since 2000.
Patti worked as a reporter with the Ottawa Citizen while completing her graduate
degree, and her articles have been published in a range of other Canadian
magazines and newspapers, including the Globe and Mail, the National Post, the
Vancouver Sun, Today's Parent and many others.
She has won a Canadian Association of Journalism (CAJ) award for investigative
magazine journalism and has been a Top 5 Finalist and Gold Medal winner in the
