As our good friends, Extreme, once sang, “More than words… is all you have to do to make it real…” Okay, 90s music references aside, for those who don’t know, while I’m primarily all about the words, I offer “more than words”… My all-inclusive or add-on service, Content Plus, goes beyond the words. As well […]
Client Ouwens Casserly Projects The project Buyer book for MESA at Aldinga Beach, South Australia The brief When Sonja, Ouwens Casserly Projects, emailed me to see if I could write some copy for a new development, she said she had a feeling it might go “from zero to 100” pretty quickly.

Writing services content, like product content, can be challenging, and it’s also easy to default to a simple list, without considering the audience. When I’m writing content about a company’s services, like this article for Wilshaw Engineering, it’s ideal to show the services in action, using real-life projects / applications.

Oh hey 2019, I see you… almost! The ride that has been 2018 has whizzed along so fast – even with a six-week break in the middle to go on an even bigger ride across Alaska and Canada to celebrate my 10-year wedding anniversary. W’hoo! It whizzed along with all the expected twists and turns […]

Isn’t it wonderful… And yet sometimes not… I recently wrote an article for Roooar Magazine, Use Social Media to Empower Not Disempower, about my love / loathe relationship with social media.
