Professional writing, editing and proofreading services, based on the Far South Coast of NSW.

Together, we can find the perfect words.

‘It’ all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you need a keen eye to look over your professional correspondence. Or maybe you have a creative project you’re almost ready to share with the world. Whatever ‘it’ is, the words you choose can strengthen the impact of your communication.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you, the rest can be refined. Your unique voice will separate your story from others if you allow it to - we can shape content together to ensure your intended message is clear to your audience as well as being authentic.

Projects.

Stepping Up

This storytelling project was the final phase of a community development program I worked on for almost two years. The four-episode podcast series speaks to thirteen community leaders about how they harnessed and developed new skills in the face of disruption — featuring the voices of some of the Bega Valley's most active and creative emerging leaders. They share insights about how the Far South Coast NSW not-for-profit sector is now planning collaboratively for the future through a place-based capacity-building partnership program. As project lead and narrator, I learnt so much through the development of Stepping Up. Listen to the podcast here.

Of Pigs and Whistles

Of Pigs and Whistles is a travelling exhibition exploring the compelling history of steamship navigation on the South Coast of NSW, a significant era which forever changed the region, linking it to the rest of the world. South East Arts engaged my services to copyedit exhibition text alongside curator Angela George. The exhibition has been touring around the broader South Coast region since launching at Eden Killer Whale Museum in December 2022.

The Purpose of Truth

Published with Ginninderra Press in 2023, Gabrielle Journey Jones’ 3rd poetry collection was written on Yuin Country. It was a real pleasure to dive into works so rich with colour and feeling, penned by a talented writer who draws inspiration from the creative community in which she lives, celebrating diversity, activism and inclusion. An award-winning performance poet, you can read more about Gabrielle’s work and creative world here.

enCounter

enCounter is a multi-disciplinary project that includes two installations, 11 museums and 14 creative practitioners. An initiative of Orana Arts, the program aims to engage regional museums with their community and with the creative sector. Selected regional writers across NSW chose a museum and created a piece, reflecting a museum experience. A weekend workshop with mentor Ruth Little supported the project, after which the collected works were published, now available through Orana Arts.

enCounter was funded by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

Australian Community Media

I embraced a position in journalism shortly after the Black Summer, just prior to the onset of the COVID pandemic. Reporting on social, economic, environmental and community issues for local and national audiences was both an immensely rewarding and challenging role. The Far South Coast community is unique and multifaceted and I was humbled by the wealth of stories so generously shared with me in the aftermath of bushfire devastation.
