Marsha Faubert

Marsha Faubert  is a writer of narrative nonfiction. Her first book, Wanda’s War — An Untold Story of Nazi Europe, Forced Labour, and a Canadian Immigration Scandal (Goose Lane Editions) was a finalist for the Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writers Award. She is in the early stages of a new project that will examine the history and legacy of environmental injustice in her hometown of Sarnia, known to some as Canada’s Chemical Valley. She is a member and former treasurer of the Creative Nonfiction Collective, and has completed an MFA in Creative Nonfiction at the University of King’s College in Halifax.

Before turning to writing, Marsha worked as a lawyer in various capacities — as a litigator with a small firm, and in the administrative justice community as counsel, adjudicator, and agency executive. Although she would like to write fiction, she is addicted to facts and finds nonfiction to be better suited to exploring themes of injustice in her writing. After a lifetime working in Toronto, she has recently returned to the shores of Lake Huron and has joined the London Writers Society hoping to connect with other writers in southwestern Ontario.
