Custom speechwriting that sounds like you

As a former journalist and advertising copywriter, and using my practice as a poet, I bring clarity and creativity to the art of finding the heart of the story and saying it with lyrical finesse. 

No clichés. No cringe. Just words that feel honest, and that land with impact.

From vows to speeches to ceremonies and stories, I’ll craft something true to the occasion and true to you. 

“The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.”

— Anaïs Nin

How We'll Work Together

Most people I work with aren’t professional writers. Many feel nervous about public speaking. Some don’t even like the spotlight. 

What they do have is an upcoming event, a moment that matters. And they want to honour it with something authentic.

Whether you’re booking a vow, a speech, or a whole ceremony, you can expect: 

• A gentle, collaborative process that begins with a short questionnaire and a relaxed chat 

• Writing that reflects your tone, voice, and story; never generic AI 

• A sense of ease (and even joy!) in the process 

• Plenty of room for feedback so the final words feel completely yours 

I take on a limited number of clients to give each piece the time and care it deserves. I work on a remote-first basis, so no matter where you are, the process is simple, flexible, and thoughtfully personal.

Who It’s For

Whether you’re speaking in front of 200 guests or just one person, the words deserve to be right.

I work with:

• Grooms and brides who want their vows to feel true, not templated

• Best men, maids of honour, bridesmaids, fathers of the bride and anyone else asked to speak at weddings

• Friends and colleagues preparing birthday, retirement or celebration toasts and speeches

• Couples and loved ones marking anniversaries, milestones, or farewells

• Celebrants and event designers who want something beyond the boilerplate templates

If you’ve ever said, “I know what I want to say, I just don’t know how to say it,” you’re in the right place.

Whether you know exactly what you’re after or just need to talk it through, I’d love to hear from you.
