About Beverley

Beverley Wood is a gambler, an entrepreneur, and a writer.

A former blackjack dealer, she’s played high-stakes poker with outlaws and prime ministers. She’s flipped houses in Canada and Mexico. She’s sold popcorn to China. She’s lived on boats in Toronto and Vancouver and in an old hacienda in Mexico - and never shied away from trouble.

Beverley managed operations at Canada’s weekly news magazine for 12 years and has published five books, including The Move to Mexico Bible. Her YA novel, DogStar, has sold over 20,000 copies and has been under option numerous times..

She produced screenwriting seminars in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver for a decade, most notably with Robert McKee and then Syd Field.

Beverley won a pony at a baseball game in Toronto at the impressionable age 10 and has been looking for that Coup de Ville in the bottom of the Cracker Jack Box ever since.
