Words are the basic building blocks of communication. The way you use them can determine not just the message you send, but how it is received and interpreted by others.

In this age of instant communications, it is more important than ever to take care to choose words wisely and use them appropriately. But you don’t always have the time or wherewithal to do this.

This is where I can help.

With more than 20 years’ experience as a writer and editor in several countries and with a variety of publications, I bring a diversity of knowledge and skills that can enhance your writing.

Whether you need something written, or need your writing edited, get in touch and let's talk about it.

Telling Life Stories 

Stories are often seen as the province of great authors and film writers. But life is really the great author. The question is the articulation. 

   Brian Robins
The Life of Liza Tod

Although telling life stories is an age-old tradition that spans the world's cultures, today it assumes an even greater role as technology enables us to share more rapidly and in more ways than before. But technological advances alone don’t ensure our stories are well told. It takes passion and perseverance, as well as a variety of expertise, from organizing and editing text to graphic design and layout.

With my experience in creating profiles, editing anthologies and writing my own memoir, I bring a range of skills that can assist you to tell the life stories you wish to share. From initial interviews through to final publication, I can lead you through the process of making your dream a reality. If this is something you have thought about or would like to pursue, contact me and we can discuss how it could work for you.
