Overview
**Available for small ghostwriting projects (e.g. 10,000 words or less) in 2024.
If you work best in a friendly and open atmosphere where ideas can flow freely, we might be a great fit for each other. I bring 100% of my brain and energy to every project I take on. If we work together, your project will be on my mind constantly until we're finished. I'll be like a magpie – collecting shiny ideas and arranging them fastidiously until they reflect you.
I got my start in book publishing on the author side of things when I landed a dream job as Jamie Oliver's in-house editor. After working on six of his best-selling books over four incredible years, I moved to Sydney and began working at one of Australia's leading independent houses.
All up, I've spent 16+ years making books with brilliant, busy people across many timezones. In the past five years, I've co-written six books. In addition to the five writing credits below, I have two more writing collaborations in the pipeline for PanMacmillan Australia and HarperCollins New Zealand. Pub dates TBC.
*Probably goes without saying, but I do not use AI to generate content.*
