Hawthorne

My career has seen me spearhead national and international public relations, marketing and event management roles for numerous Australian and American not-for-profits, primarily in the environment and social justice arenas. I’m happily a freelance writer, editor, script assessor, marcoms strategist, and writing tutor who has mentored over 250 writers through The Writers’ Studio’s Unlocking Creativity, Writers’ Gym & First Draft courses. I’m currently making final edits to my debut novel, a thriller set in Australia and the Middle East, and when I’m not writing or thinking about writing, you’ll find me swimming or watching films, my other not-so-secret obsessions.
