My talent for writing was noticed at 8 years old when I won a BMX for the best letter written to Father Christmas. I was proudly photographed in the newspaper with the Mayor of Durban and still hold this photo in my box of keepsakes. Thereafter I went on to study Journalism and won the Merit Award. My first work experience as a student landed me the opportunity to write for the Sunday Tribune and my article was published on page 7. I was then referred to a weekly newspaper, where I became the reporter for my region. The joys of seeing my name on every story weekly was incredible and satisfying and the adrenalin of deadlines was exciting for me. I did other work in between this, to develop various sales and admin skills and then landed a fantastic PR and Events Coordinating job with South Africa's largest private education institution, Educor Holdings where I became there go- to publications writer. I have written for brands such as, Damelin, ICESA, Intec College, City Varsity and my latest being a UK company for Essential Oils. My writing is well researched, engaging and thought provoking. I write from the heart and love detail. I like to work closely with my clients to ensure their brand personality is communicated through their content. I specialise in health, wellness, education, parenting, and brand identity, looking to further grow my skills in the freelance space.

Do you require a summary of complex ideas? Do you have thoughts that need to be fleshed out and brought to life? Do you have writing that needs a gloss? Be it advertising copy, video scripts, professional reports, product-information guides, situation updates, academic text, art commentary, cultural observations, or social media posts, I can deliver in the style of your choice. Fiction or non-fiction; YouTube, boardroom, blog, billboard or press release, l am able. I have a knack for research and I'm comfortable working from information that you provide. My experience ranges from co-writing the script of an award winning animation (best animation of 857 international submissions, Euro Kino, Prague, 2017) to freelancing for an independent record label, to writing research articles for academic journals, to presenting conference papers, to newspaper reviews (recorded music, live events, and theatre). I have published in The Natal Witness newspaper and journals including Reality, Politicon (the official journal of the Political Science Association of South Africa) and Focus (the official journal of the Helen Suzman Foundation). I have had a chapter accepted for an edited book on animation, which is to be published by a US-based academic publisher. My most recent conference paper was delivered at the Animation and Public Engagement Symposium (APES 2019), hosted by Texas Tech University at Lubbock TX. I am also an artist and a sound editor. (I have other identities too). "Peter Stewart has provided research, copy-writing and editorial services to Matsuli Music over the past 12 years. His professionalism, attention to detail and ability to deliver to deadline are impeccable. He is a pleasure to work with and is a trusted supplier. Highly recommended". Matthew Temple, Director, Matsuli Music, London. An example of my academic writing can be found on the Helen Suzman Foundation website (in Focus, issue 76, The Idea of a University). If you are interested in my services, please contact me and I'll give your proposal careful consideration.
