With the Master of Arts (Creative Writing) finally completed, I’m back writing and editing web content that takes into account, usability principles, W3C guidelines, web writing conventions, the clients’ aspirations, the customers’ expectations and whatever is needed for search engine optimisation (SEO).
I also develop in-house style guides and teach a ‘Writing for the Web’ course at the Sydney Writers’ Centre.
As well as being a contributing author to the South American-based V!va Travel Guide series, and the Sydney editor for the American travel web site, NileGuide, I’ve also published freelance travel writing for Get Lost, Qantas and TimeOut.
One of the final semesters of the post-grad studies was spent as a full-time university exchange student in The Netherlands. A blog - Our man in Amsterdam – with links to Flickr albums, kept track of the experience.
