A Doyle Reader is a lively collection of personal memories and commentaries from well-known Newfoundland writer and broadcaster Marjorie Doyle.

Musings on growing up in St. John’s and pointed commentary on Newfoundland's Confederation with Canada. Writings on the province's culture, heritage, and music. A travelogue of an English teacher abroad. Connecting them all is Doyle’s distinctive voice: patriotic, passionate, and relentlessly funny. Marjorie Doyle’s award-winning work has appeared in the Globe and Mail, St. John's Telegram, National Post, and many other newspapers, journals, and literary magazines. Her voice has been frequently heard on CBC-Radio, as commentator, guest, and longtime host of That Time of the Night. She lives in her native St. John’s.

Marjorie Doyle has published four books of non-fiction. Her columns and essays have appeared across Canada in the Globe and Mail, Ottawa Citizen, National Post, Fiddlehead, Geist, Calgary Herald, Queen’s Quarterly, Antigonish Review. Her broadcast career included hosting the national CBC radio show That Time of the Night. Marjorie has been awarded a National Magazine Award and (with her brother John W. Doyle) two CBC Radio Awards for Programming Excellence and a Golden Sheaf nomination for the documentary Regarding Our Father. A former Chair of The Writers’ Union of Canada, she’s read across Canada and was writer in residence at Haig Brown House on Vancouver Island.
