As a freelance writer, I do take on assignments (as well as pitching story ideas). If you're an editor or organisation looking to commission an ocean story, please get in touch with details of your brief, budget and deadline and we can chat further.

FAQs

Do you only write about the ocean?

No. I do write about other subjects too (usually sustainability, eco travel and terrestrial conservation) but the ocean is my passion so this tends to be where my focus lies.

Do you offer copywriting services for companies and organisations too?

Yes, you can find out more about my copywriting services here.

If you include me in a piece, can I see a draft before it's published?

No. While I might be in touch to fact check a couple of things, particularly for complex pieces, the subject or interviewee of my article won't be able to review or approve copy of an editorial article before publication (unless otherwise agreed beforehand). Of course, if you're a client who has booked me to write articles for your own channels then, yes, we would go through an approvals process as part of the project.
