About me
As a Geelong-based copywriter, editor and literary agent, I am passionate about advocating for authors to enable them to have long-lasting and rewarding careers. I also work with businesses and individuals to create clear and persuasive copy aimed at building deep emotional connections with their ideal audience, establishing trust and increasing sales. My goal is to write great copy so clients can spend time on the things they would rather be doing.
With experience working in book publishing, editing fiction and picture books, I have also edited and proofread nonfiction books (for publishers and individuals) and academic theses. I help authors, at any stage of their career, to uncover the magic in their writing that makes them unique.
