Over my career as a faculty member and researcher, I have written and edited a range of materials [journal articles, dissertations, grant proposals, reviews, presentations, patents, newsletters, résumés, and cover letters], and I have published over 75 peer-reviewed papers, reviews, and book chapters.

** Returning to Upwork early 2026 following period of employment - earnings $20K+ **
Hello - and thank you for taking a look at my profile. I'm a UK-Australia dual citizen and part-time writer. I create text that is defined by my abilities as an analytical thinker, my highly developed research capability, and second-nature writing skills.
These enable me to bring a strong focus to complex writing projects, whether it's interweaving related threads into a single narrative, or structuring a longer document to convey an overriding objective.
My writing priorities, in no particular order, are:
- creating structure,
- engagement and flow,
- addressing the reader in language they can understand,
- ensuring suitability to format,
- writing in the author voice,
- optimizing word count and SEO.
Blended successfully, these elements ensure clarity and a compelling yet succinct text.
My background encompasses profit and non-profit organisations with industries from the arts to finance, careers to IT start-ups, health and ag-science. Formats include grant applications, white papers, reports, case studies, eBooks, articles and technical information.
I submit suitable work examples in proposals. Meanwhile, here's a preview of some work areas:
- Grant applications, from $80k to $60m proposals for arts venues, universities, and LGAs.
- Writing original communications for a start-up company in the agricultural space.
- Editing corporate communications into brand voice for a financial institution for five years.
- Short form and long form digital and print article writing, on topics from finance to antiques.
- Completing research projects for Australia’s national science agency.
- Non-fiction 21k word eBook published on Amazon - Kindle, Apple books, and other platforms.
Thank you - I hope we can speak soon!

• I have more than 20 years of proposal development experience (government and commercial) working with small businesses and major corporations. I am fully credentialed in the Shipley proposal process, the industry standard for government procurements.
Examples of my experience include the technical documentation of:
