I’m friendly, professional, organised, and ridiculously easy to work with. You can totally rely on to meet deadlines and fulfill briefs.

You might want to commission me to write:

• Short stories, like For the Perishable Body in The Saturday Paper, and Beast Evolving in Lithub.
• Essays and nature writing, like Whispering Road in Meanjin, and Speak for the Trees from Guardian Australia.
• Opinion pieces like You Can be a Successful Writer, But Only if You Live in Melbourne or Sydney or The Myth of the Vogel, from Overland.
• Poems, like this suite of five pieces from Australian Book Review.
• Copywriting, like this piece for Tourism Tasmania and The Herald Sun.

I’m also highly experienced in a huge range of adjacent literary and creative activities. You may want to enquire about:

• editing fiction, poetry and non-fiction.
• providing manuscript assessments.
• curating and producing books, and other creative projects.
• creative development and consultation.
• mentoring.
• judging prizes and awards.
• collaborating with other creatives.
• running workshops.
• hosting literary events and panels.
• presenting at festivals.
• performing my work.
• anything that might be strange, fun or interesting to do.
