I offer an array of writing options, from website content to educational material or your latest exhibition room brochure. I have worked in cultural organisations, where I wrote successful funding proposals for art projects and festivals. I decode the bureaucratic jargon, research the funding body and find funding that fits your project.

Grant & Funding Application Assistance
I have worked in community arts and government-level arts and cultural organisations in Australia. My research and writing skills have successfully secured funding for arts festivals, exhibition development and art projects.
I can help you understand the jargon, work through the budget and ensure you have all the documents required to submit a successful funding application. After you’ve received your funding, I’ll guide you step by step through monitoring statistics, writing progress reports, and finalising the project.
Community Heritage Grant – NLA Octapod
Each year, the Australian Government provides grants to community organisations for preservation projects and preservation and collection management training through community-based workshops. The Community Heritage Grants (CHG) Program aims to preserve and provide access to locally held, nationally significant cultural heritage collections across Australia (NLA). The Octapod successfully applied for funding in 2004 to assess the significance of the Octapod’s zine collection. The project was completed in 2005. The project involved the preparation of a significance assessment by a leading expert on Australian zines. This included a survey of past, current and future users of the zine collection.

Reviews + Articles
Please take some time to read my exhibition and festival reviews on my blog to get a feel for my writing style. I’ve worked in exhibition project management for more than 10 years, and I love critiquing exhibitions, from layout, design and lighting.
