Overview
With 25 years global media experience at very high levels, I ensure top quality work, delivered on time.
Among my achievements are more than 100 comment, opinion, "oped" articles published in mainstream media internationally on my byline and "ghosted" for others, including high profile personalities in politics, law and global affairs.
I have also had 3 books published in my name and have worked on a ghostwritten book length memoir draft for a prominent Australian philanthropist.
I have been a speechwriter for a national Australian political leader and others.
My strengths are finding my clients' best voice, bringing ideas and stories to life, a professional writing style suited to the needs of the genre and subject and an obsession with hitting deadlines.
Areas of special expertise are business (I have worked with high profile CEOs and entrepreneurs), politics (I wrote media copy and speeches for a Senator and a prominent political leader), current affairs (30 years in journalism) and sports (former football player with pro aspirations) and its interface with politics and business (My 2022 novel Game is on this topic).
My experience gives me a wide ranging background and skillset, applicable to the above areas but also elsewhere. I am a 'master synthesiser' and would say my greatest ability is drawing disparate ideas and concepts together in interesting and original ways.
I am really looking forward to hearing about your project!
