Hi, I'm Dave.

I’m a freelance writer and an editor devoted to thoughtful analysis of your work.

I publish Vancouver Island History where we discover the Island’s unexpected past.

Dave Flawse Portrait

I am the publisher of Vancouver Island History, a freelance writer, and an editor. I write about history, but also other lesser-known, remarkable stories hiding in plain sight.

A firm believer in literary citizenship, I promote and further literary arts in British Columbia with the goal of helping this robust and diverse community impact as many readers as possible.

I am privileged and grateful to be allowed to work and study on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish, Kwakwaka’wakw, and Nuu-chah-nulth Peoples and pay respect to their rich cultural heritage and natural environment.

I found Dave to be a respectful reader of my work. When he made critical comments, he was never negative or discouraging. He always mentioned what I had done well and helped me build on that.”—David A
