my writing philosophy
Something happens when I write, I lose all sense of time and space, it's just me and my (often very illegible) handwritten words, pouring out of me quicker than I can write, basking in the sheer delight that they have been permitted a clear passage to release from my head to the paper. The words are an extension of me, a life force yearning to be recognised, and in many ways over the years I have come to cherish my dog-eared notebooks as I would a dear old friend. When I finally stop I pause and review, and I smile in the knowledge that I have learnt something new about myself, or about an object or topic, and I will quite often embark on further research or fact-finding missions to validate my various hypotheses and assumptions.
how can we work together?
Writing & Blogging
I am available for freelance writing, feature writing and blogging (particularly in the areas of motherhood, parenting, yoga and health) so if you like my style and approach please get in touch with me for a chat! Similar to my blog posts, I like to write from a conversational perspective whilst also supporting my opinions and observations with research, evidence and statistics from reputable third parties (and I also find this makes the article more interesting to read!).
Grant Writing & Editing
I have over 15 years professional experience in the areas of grants and funding, fundraising, communications and government relations; helping to raise almost $15 million in funding and fundraising appeals over the years. Currently my specific areas of interest in this field include environmental and conservation initiatives, innovation, climate change, renewable energy, indigenous culture and heritage, human rights and earth jurisprudence. Click here for more information or contact me for a chat about how I can assist your project or organisation with your funding goals.
Research
I LOVE to research and get to the nitty-gritty of any topic I write about, so if you need a topic explored I will ensure that no leaf goes unturned and provide you with a nice little summary of the key findings and areas of interest, including the complete listing of all references.
Proof-reading (hard copy and online formats)
I am also a huge word-nerd and love nothing more than sitting down with a cup of tea with my red pen poised at the ready (yes it always has to be red!) waiting to launch onto any typos or grammatical errors in the document under review. I also commonly come across multitudes of typos and errors online, so this service extends to online publications, websites, social media (and blogs!) - the only thing that changes with my approach is that I ditch the tangible red pen for an online pen tool!
