Strategy, setup and tools to help you build work that works
Hi, I’m Joanne. I’m a ghostwriter and storyteller.
Whether you’re looking for help writing your memoir, strengthening your professional profile, or telling your business story through case studies, awards or your website, I’ll help you tell it authentically.
With 20+ years of business and finance experience, and a lifelong practice of writing, I understand the nuances of professional narratives and how to help you tell your story.
Writing is only part of what I do. Through The Rhubarb Collective, I help people build careers and businesses that fit their skills, interests and life, with 1:1 strategy, practical setup and self-paced tools.
I also write the Unpenned, where I explore the realities of writing, building work that actually fits and life as it happens.
