Journalist. Editor. Copywriter. 

Bloody good storyteller.

Everyone has a story.

Any story can have the power to change minds, and even transform lives, if it's crafted with skill, care and a depth of experience.

I've been telling stories for decades. Mostly other people's (unless you count an entire sub-genre my partner dubs 'The Steve Stories') across a variety of publications, categories and media.

Trained in the school of journalistic hard knocks, I learned the art of grafting facts and crafting words from the dogged reporters and cynical sub-editors at some of Australia's best-known publications.

Since 2016, I've been a freelance writer and/or editor for hire, working with a fascinating array of media and corporate clients to illuminate their triumphs and struggles with warmth, sensitivity and respect.

Let's discuss how we might work together to tell YOUR story.

What's a Steve Story? Pour me a couple of fingers of a very fine Scotch (no ice!) one day, and I just might tell you ...

How much will it cost?

How long is a piece of string? Nope, I don't know either. That's why I don't offer set pricing.

Instead, let's discuss how I can make your life easy by matching your needs with the fairest possible quotation and schedule for delivery.

(All pricing includes up to two rounds of consolidated feedback - in case any minor updates are needed.)
