Editorial

I’ve spent more than a decade as a journalist, writing news and features across print, web and television for a range of publications and networks. I’m a thorough worker, delivering to deadline work that is accurate, compelling and well structured.

I specialise in wine, from both a consumer and industry perspective, as well as travel and business. I’m keen to work on commissions across Australia and beyond, for either a per-word or project fee.

Words & Pictures

I’ve worked on a number of newspaper and magazine commissions with my wife, photographer Elizabeth Clancy. This includes a significant body of work for the Travel supplement of the Herald Sun, as well as for Business Spectator, TNT Magazine and the Argentina Independent.

I’d be happy to discuss features that combine excellent journalism with top-class photography, both locally and further afield.

Copywriting

I provide a range of commercial writing services, chiefly in food, wine, hospitality and tourism. I’ve written biographies of key personnel, media releases, advertorial copy, back labels, masterclass booklets and web content for some of Australia’s best-known food and beverage brands. Much of this work has been completed for one of the country’s foremost marketing communications businesses, Dig & Fish.

Please contact me directly to discuss briefs and rates, which can be set by the hour or on a project basis.

Translation

I hold an MA degree in Modern Languages (French and Spanish) from Oxford University and have lived in Granada, Buenos Aires and Paris in the course of my career. I have also carried out professional translation services on behalf of companies such as LV Studio in Argentina.

I’m available for written translation commissions from French and Spanish into English, and English into Spanish. I am also open to playing a facilitator role for English speakers dealing with French- and Spanish-speaking business partners.
