About the Author
Sacha Jackson first visited Quand#233;bec as an eighth-grader. Years later, she moved to Montrand#233;al with a high school diploma and a bad French accent. As a student there, she learned that the best way to get to know the city was on a bike, spending many nights touring the quiet, tree-lined streets and racing friends down Mont-Royal.
After graduating from college, Sacha lived in London and Toronto before settling back in Montrand#233;al. Two of her favorite things about the city are its impractical outdoor circular staircases and the smell of hot bagels; as for Quand#233;bec City, she makes regular visits there to wander its cobbled streets and picnic on the Plains of Abraham.
Sacha is a Montrand#233;al-based freelance writer and editor. Her writing has appeared in Dazed and Confused Magazine, the Montrand#233;al Mirror, Exclaim! and elsewhere.
