My passion for writing began at the age of eight when I wrote and illustrated my first storybook, a children’s tale called, Harold the Field Mouse. While the story was never published, the experience of writing this tale cemented a lifelong love of reading and writing. Needless to say, English was my best subject throughout my schooling years. In fact, my favourite teacher in high school predicted I would write for a living one day.
That vision was realised during a successful ten-year corporate career in the financial services sector writing self-paced multimedia training courses, educational content and user manuals. This experience, together with additional studies, provided me with a solid foundation to embark on a full time professional writing and editing career.
In 2005 I took a leap of faith and started my own business. Today I am living the dream, helping others, no matter where in the world they are located, fulfil their vision of producing a book and working with business owners from various industry sectors to help them share their brand stories.
On larger projects, I manage a team of talented professionals, all experts in their field. They include sub-editors, proofreaders, indexers, typesetters, publishers, artists and printers, to provide clients with a concept to completion service.
Away from work you will find me at my local beach, on my yoga mat, reading, spending quality time with family and friends or ocean paddling on my stand-up paddleboard.
As a business owner, I take great pride in offering professional personalised service. When you engage A Way With Words to assist you with your writing and editing needs, rest assured you are engaging me, the owner of the business. I look forward to working with you.
