Eric Wainwright (BA 2006) Editor-in-Chief www.notable.ca Blog for Young Professionals “Eric has been writing and editing for more than a decade. He has worked in a variety of mediums including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, television, print, and online media. He believes in good words, employing the Oxford comma, and the death of the exclamation mark. He does not believe in the moon landing, chicken winged flavoured potato chips, or stop signs. You can find him online or driving around the city daily.” (From the Notable website)
