About Kathy A. Smith

Writer turned podcaster

I've been writing professionally since 1993.

I wrote marine feature trade articles for 11 years, and amassed a portfolio of over 200 published pieces, including a monthly news column. I was also privileged to be part of the editorial team on a number of maritime archaeology books.

My article about the unprecedented expedition to map Titanic in 3D for the very first time, was published in Reader’s Digest Canada to commemorate the 100th anniversary of her sinking.

Before embarking on marine trade writing, I wrote about mental health, business, and art for a range of publications. I also worked as a content and copywriter for clients in several industries. 

Since launching the Fascinated by Shipwrecks Podcast, I’ve been privileged to interview several prominent maritime archaeologists, including such luminaries as Dr. James P. Delgado, who has worked on over 100 shipwrecks.
