Business Writing
I love writing! I do lots of it, in various forms, professionally and privately. Professionally, I concentrate on two areas – business writing and arts journalism.
The business writing I do focuses on strategies, research papers, marketing documents, briefings & information sheets, funding applications and editing. Recent projects include:
- Realising the Value: How practice-based organisations will fare after ACE cuts. Published in January 2012, this paper revisits the organisations in the original Ladders for Development report six months on. It restates the value of small infrastructure organisations to a healthy arts ecology.
- A Fair Share? Direct Funding to Artists is now published and online (Oct 2011). Commissioned by a-n The Artists Information Company, it quantifies the amount of funding given directly to artists from the four UK arts councils. It also identifies the visual arts priorities of each arts council.
- Ladders for Development is a research report commissioned by a-n The Artists Information Company, published in June 2011. It details the activity of 15 practice-based visual arts development organisations; discusses the likely impact of funding cuts on them, and suggests three ways in which these cuts could be mitigated.
It was featured on The Guardian’s Culture Cuts blog here.
I directed and edited the Creative Workspace Study for Brighton & Hove City Council, a document that informs the city’s creative workspace policies.
Press cuttings: The Argus and Arts Industry magazine.
If you have a need in any of these areas, please contact me to discuss how I can help.
