About

Welcome and thanks for visiting!

Words, books, authors, ideas and nature are my jam! Some of the things I’m known for include:

• Empowering authors to get their words into the world. I’m an author advocate, book coach and mentor , blogger and a workshop host for organisations including Byron Writers Festival and Writing NSW. I’m a publishing consultant for The Australian Society of Authors and non-fiction advisor to the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi).
• Self-Publishing with ALLi podcast host interviewing experts and sharing information on global book production and book distribution
• My books: helping people with practical information on writing and publishing – through to organic farming and memoir.
• Writing community and authorpreneurship: I’m the Non-Fiction Advisor and podcast host for the international Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi)
• Collaboration: I’m the founder of Bold Authors – a collaborative course hub where authors share their knowledge with other writers
• Quality, depth of knowledge and independence: I’m a judge of the Australian Society of Travel Writers Book Awards (ASTW) 2024 and the Australian Business Book Awards (2022, 2023, 2024) and though I work with many publishers and service providers on behalf of authors, I’m not bound to any one in particular which means I can help you navigate the ideal path and outcomes for you and your book.
• Words: I’m a freelance writer for outlets including The Guardian and The Sydney Morning Herald, as well as for clients applying for grants and awards, and organisations needing great content for their website and communications materials.
• Marketing nous: Writing the book is the easy part, getting it into readers’ hands is the hard part – I’ll show you how it can be fun!
