Edit For Me

HI I'M CJ

Based in Adelaide, South Australia, I've been writing professionally in different forms for many years, with a focus on writing and editing since 2021. My career has always been centred around communication, from "painting the picture" of a client sipping margaritas by the pool as they planned their next journey, to creating content that helps people and businesses share their ideas, stories and expertise.

But my love of words started much earlier. I've been reading for as long as I can remember, including many a childhood night with the quilt pulled over the bed lamp so no one would know I was still awake. Decades later, not much has changed. Words and stories are still some of my favourite things (along with cats, coffee and my daughter). Jump down to Services to see how I can help you.
