Her writing practice involves collaborative, performative and interdisciplinary work; she is interested in mental health, publishing, animal rights and our current moment of cultural disintegration. Reimer has been involved with the editing and publishing of micro-literary magazines and the organization of literary and arts events since 2000, and has blogged widely on literature and culture since 2007. Reimer moved to East Vancouver with her husband in 2004, where she has worked in the financial investment industry, public broadcasting, post-secondary education, publishing and as a freelance writer and editor. She is a past member of the Kootenay School of Writing collective and a past board member at W2 Community Media Arts. She currently works as Managing Editor of EVENT magazine, edits Van City Kitty on Vancouverisawesome.com aka VIA, is a member of VIA's Vancouver Book Club and lives online at nikkireimer.com.
