Marketer and a specialist writer

Since then I’ve run my own marketing communications businesses in Melbourne for 23 years.
Web content specialist since 2006
As marketing communications changed and became more sophisticated, I decided in 2006 to concentrate on web content delivery as a specialist skill. I also enjoy advising authors on planning the structure and content of their books/ebooks, and writing, co-writing or editing their manuscripts. As a creative marketing strategist, I blend ideas, words, and images that get you and your enterprise noticed.
