Lynn “Elikqitie” Smargis is an author, speaker, ghostwriter, and writing coach who works with speakers, consultants, executives, and service-based business owners to create content that establishes their presence and credibility online.
I’m currently producing three podcasts: Travel Gluten Free, which assists gluten-free people to travel safely. My second podcast, Your Writing Coach, guides professionals on their writing journey to becoming a published author. The newest podcast I’ve created, Caring for Your Aging Parents, discusses the challenges and answers the questions which Gen X’ers such as myself are facing with their senior parents.
Besides being a proficient creative writer, I’m also an avid ideator who writes between 2,000 and 8,000 words per day and is currently in the process of writing and publishing four books.
I currently split my time between my home in Olympia, Washington, and my olive farm in McMinnville Oregon – the latter of which lies in the middle of wine and hazelnut country!
When I’m not writing, I enjoy playing with my two dogs Lily and Minnow, snuggling my two cats Jack and Hemingway, traveling, painting, reading, mediation, gardening, building experimental airplanes, studying Buddhism, and playing outdoors.
