About

I'm the sole writer and publisher behind ShannonGuides — a library of plain-language privacy and security guides for complete beginners. I've spent years living inside a serious privacy setup: self-hosting, GrapheneOS, encrypted everything, the works. I write guides the way I wish someone had explained this stuff to me — starting from zero, explaining the reasoning behind every step, no assumed knowledge. Based in Ontario, Canada.

ShannonGuides - Plain-language privacy guides for complete beginners

ShannonGuides is a growing library of plain-language privacy and security guides for complete beginners. Each guide starts from zero — no jargon, no assumed knowledge — and covers real, practical territory: escaping Google, building a private tech stack, operational security, encrypted communications, GrapheneOS, data broker removal, and more. Written from direct hands-on experience, not research. Guides are $40 each, with bundle pricing available for the full library.
