Strategic storytelling can change lives, save species and solve problems. I know how to use it to full effect and have worked on story-telling campaigns for the UK Department for International Development, various USAID-supported projects, and institutes like the Southern African Wildlife College. I can help you find the right narrative and tell it ethically and effectively.
Show, don't tell. I love working with words to create well-structured, factual, creative, compelling, suspenseful and atmospheric stories that respect both my readers and the people or subjects I am writing about. I pay close attention to consent, privacy and representation in my work, and still get a thrill when it all comes together on the page.
Editors are among my favourite professionals, and the more passionate they are, the better. All writers need them to help see the wood for the trees, finesse clunky text, and see what your eyes don't after you've read your draft for the 10th time. I can help you clean up, streamline and improve your writing so when you read it again, it's you, at your very best.
I'm versatile and adaptable. I understand tone, nuance and SEO. I can tailor my writing to your audience, work with your developer, brand manager, designer, photographer to make sure that the content I produce for you is original, distinctive, consistent, effective and aligned across your platforms.
Working with talented photographers is every writer's dream, but it's impossible on every assignment, so I take pictures, too. What started as a workplace necessity has become a growing passion. My images are for my stories, but if I have photographed something you need, please contact me.
I’m available for local and international projects.
Writing Wild is a place to share my work with readers and prospective clients. Please view my magazine portfolio here, and feel free to browse the stories I publish on Writing Wild.
