I craft elegant, breathtaking writing for periodicals and organisations. I’m comfortable with straightforward communications, but my work really shines when you’re looking for something different – from experimental responses to museum exhibits through to reflective essays and commentary.

My background as a literary writer means I care deeply about sentences, structure, and voice, and I bring that care 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
  Example: Walkley Award-winning feature article ‘The Only Fish’ in Island.
• Imaginative creative work for journals, festivals and collaborative projects
  For the Perishable Body in The Saturday Paper.
• Copywriting, storytelling and other communications
  Campaign feature for Tourism Tasmania and The Herald Sun.
• Editorial and literary consultancy work
  Manuscript assessment, award judging, content curation, creative strategy and development, grant panels, mentoring, editing and workshop presentation.
• Event roles
  MC, keynote speeches, hosting and participating in panels, interviewing guests, and providing literary readings and performances.
