ABOUT
I am a small business owner styling engaging copy for niche markets that I am truly passionate about. After many years in the communication industry, I now specialise in writing about luxury, particularly watches and jewellery, travel, property investment, health and wellbeing, and the arts.
My work has been published in leading print and digital magazines and newspapers across Africa and beyond. The article I wrote about medical tourism in Mauritius and South Africa won an award for print journalism in the SADC Media Awards 2018, which you can read here.
I am a member of the award-winning City of Cape Town team that excels repeatedly at the SA Publication Forum’s annual awards for excellence in internal communication. We have won awards for excellence in writing, best corporate publication, best newspaper and best headlines.
In 2020, 2019 and 2014, I ranked among the top five most-read contributors for bizcommunity’s lifestyle pages. This is a wonderful forum for my dance features, in particular, and the performing arts, in general. I have covered this beat since the early nineties. Whenever I travel I make it a priority to find somewhere to dance or, at the very least, listen to some live music – and I usually get it right. #watchmemove

Highlights
I am grateful to be doing what I love for people who love what I do. I look forward to sharing more of my experiences with you here on my blog, Diamond Time, and via Instagram. Please do connect, share your thoughts and even new story ideas. Mostly, I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I do writing them.




COPYWRITING SERVICES

WRITING
Writing is an art that requires a healthy combination of creativity, patience, inspiration, passion – and time. I specialise in luxury lifestyle, writing for niche sectors such as investment watches, jewellery, property, travel and the arts.

COPY EDITING
Copy editing may involve rewriting existing copy, fact-checking, writing headlines and captions, and correcting grammar and spelling while taking care to maintain the author’s ‘voice’. I have extensive experience in publishing, corporate communication, and financial reporting.

PROOFREADING
Proofreading demands a keen eye for detail: grammar and spelling, consistency of style and language, and even fact-checking should the need arise. It’s one of my favourite jobs!
