ESSAYS AND COLUMNS that
feel & INFORM
When I needed to orchestrate a major life change, I turned to writing.
I’ve written — and had published — personal essays for years that have helped me to make sense of who I am, and bring humanity and heart to issues that my old community felt were controversial and sin-laden.
I’m trained in literary, academic and educational writing. I can blend the genres or stick to a lane, using my expertise to bring life and energy to the work you’d like me to do.
Hire me to write a blog post, op-ed or essay. Or if you just need help enhancing a piece you’re working on, let me assist you to bring vibrancy, precision and purpose to your writing.
I CAN HELP WITH:
Thought Leadership AND ADVOCACY
I can help you position yourself as an authority in your field and write pieces that bring incisive perspective and promote your expertise. I can also assist if you’re advocating a cause and need content that pursues with conviction and colour.
Getting the diction, tone and style of writing — for the right audience — is critical, especially if writing doesn’t come naturally to you. Let me help you get this right, whether you want to publish on your own blog or you’d like me to add my voice to your platform.
writing on LGBTQ issues AND RELATED POLITICS
I came out as gay through a personal essay, posted through Medium and published to my old faith community. I know how to write about the muddiness and paradoxes of queer experience with humanity and reflectivity.
If you need op-eds or blog posts on queer issues or the lived experience of queer life, let’s chat. I can work from scratch or to your brief.
EDUCATIVE WRITING
I was a high school English teacher for 11 years and I’ve trained pre-service teachers at postgraduate level. I have an intuitive sense of how to write for education, learning and enlightenment. And I know the secondary and tertiary education industries well.
If you need content for your blog or publication on issues in this sector, or if you have ideas you need crafted for educating and informing your audience, I can help.
