Burgess helped organize a tribute to Paul Almond held at the Westmount Public Library, at which she spoke along with Roch Carrier and a number of other Canadian authors and speakers. She has been interviewed for CBC radio’s “All in a Weekend,” CBC “Breakaway,” CBC in Vancouver, and the Montreal Gazette. Burgess has written articles for QWF Writes, The Anglican Journal, and the Quebec-Chronicle Telegraph.

In February 2018, Burgess' latest historical fiction novel was reviewed by Yvan Roy, publisher of Journal Epik. Burgess was interviewed about her new book on CBC Breakaway. Marilynn Vanderstaay featured it in an article appearing in All Around Westmount. Burgess’ first novel The Magic Manuscript: Book One – Voyage to Eve Ilion was published traditionally in 2011 by Piraeus Books LLC but two more editions have since been released (self published) after her publishing rights were returned. (She prefers the freedom of self publishing as it is almost impossible to break into the traditional publishing arena.) Burgess authored a small collection of poems Light in the Wind in 2015 and an early reader Ludwig the Piano-Playing Parrot & Other Tales in 2013.

Barbara Burgess received her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from McGill University, where she also pursued fulltime study in graduate studies specializing in medieval English literature. Her thesis advisor was a student and friend of C.S. Lewis.

She had a literary correspondence with Madeleine L' Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time Quintet, and met L' Engle, one of her favourite authors. L' Engle encouraged her to pursue her dream of being a writer.
