Brittany Veenhuysen is a professional writer based in Calgary, Canada. With a BA in English and twelve years of experience as a copywriter, brand psychologist, and creative writer, she loves unearthing the deeper story and soul of both businesses and human beings.
She is particularly passionate about what makes people tick; what we want, what we fear, and what makes life meaningful. This finds its way into both her copywriting and creative writing projects. Her work with businesses is rooted in exploring the psychographics of both brands and their ideal audience. She helps her clients unearth and express their purpose, services, and products in a shared language that is engaging and relevant for the people who matter. This work begins with stepping into the audience’s minds and hearts, learning how to connect the dots between creator, creation, and buyer, and developing truly compelling stories and materials.
Her creative writing is literary and intimate, imbued with personal experience, magic realism, speculative elements, and observations about the human experience that often play out in an individual’s storyline. Curious, philosophical, and darkly humorous, Brittany enjoys featuring multiple points of view, setting-as-character, imperfect, unreliable narrators, and unexpected takes on familiar archetypes. Nothing is as it seems in this world, where grounded, earthly existence mingles with greater spiritual truth.

The Happenstance Casebook
Immerse yourself in a world of synchronicity, everyday magic, and philosophical musings. Inspired by events from my own life (past, present, and maybe even future) this is a unique, free newsletter that will find its way into your inbox every second Friday.
The Host is selling a path to happiness for the helplessly despondent. Its twelve newest patrons, anonymous and fidgety, gather in a dim, boarded-up pub, thirsty for the answers that will cure their suffering.
But when The Host’s disembodied presence at last lights up a dozen phone screens, they find not a remedy for burning existential dread, but an unexpected demand: Each evening, one of them must tell a story. You’ll know when it’s your turn, The Host insists, by virtue of where you are. As The Bartender nods and quietly steps forward, in her faded beauty and quiet resignation, The Host issues a warning to the group; their fellow sufferers are their only hope of redemption. If they have not found what they seek by the end of the twelfth tale, they never will.
The troubled travelers are shepherded from skyscraper lobby to desert diner, from starlit circus to heady swamp, and beyond, to share stories both twisted and revealing. As their tales unfold, The Host begins to malfunction, threatening to push this turbulent group over the edge of reason.

A witch named Owl is preparing to curse the amnesiac town of Ruse, in anticipation of her upcoming death on her thirtieth birthday. In two weeks’ time, she, like every witch before her, will depart forever into the Hemlock Forest that cuts off Ruse from the rest of the world. Soon after she leaves, another witch will come to reside in The Crooked House within the cursed wood.
But Owl has been granted a premonition; a vision of the future that shows the descent of Ruse into poverty and cruelty towards one another, with particular animosity towards the resident witch that serves to protect the townsfolk from the evils lurking within the forest. With nothing but an instinct to chronicle her observations in an old, blank book she finds in the Crooked House, Owl uses her remaining time to inform future witches of her lived past, in a town that prefers not to remember itself.

I help founders and entrepreneurs connect with, and win over, their ideal clients. Drawing on my background in storytelling, marketing strategy, and archetypes, my focus is on helping businesses distinguish themselves from the crowd, clarify their ideal audience, and develop messaging that engages with the people and companies they love to work with.
My very favorite people are inventive, passionate, and ambitious – those who are here to offer something new; who struggle to reach their people and express their true, unique value in an existing marketplace. I always aim to blend authenticity and strategy, crafting a brand voice that bridges the gap between the heart and soul of my clients’ vision and the enthusiastic audience waiting on the other side.
