I craft elegant and engaging writing for periodicals, cultural organisations, businesses, government bodies and NGOs – from experimental responses to museum exhibits all the way through to straightforward communications.

My background as a literary writer gives me a powerful foundation with words, and I bring this care and attention to every project and commission.

I’m friendly, professional, organised, and ridiculously easy to work with. I meet deadlines and work well to briefs.

I can offer:

• Compelling essays, commentary, interpretative materials and journalism for periodicals, catalogues, books and exhibitions, like the Walkley Award-winning feature article ‘The Only Fish’ in Island.
• Imaginative creative work for journals, festivals and collaborative projects, such as For the Perishable Body in The Saturday Paper.
• Copywriting, storytelling and other communications, such as this campaign feature for Tourism Tasmania and The Herald Sun.
• Editorial and literary consultancy work, including manuscript assessment, award judging, content curation, creative strategy and development, grant panels, mentoring, editing and workshop presentation.
• Event roles, such as MC, keynote speeches, hosting and participating in panels, interviewing guests, and providing literary readings and performances.
