I write books and articles on a range of interesting subjects from business ecosystems and ethics to landscape and horticulture. I also translate and copyedit websites, contracts, and technical instructions etc from Finnish to plain English.
Books
I have written a book, Living Roofs, on behalf of TenNeues publishing, available on Amazon.
I can write copy for a range of subjects. I offer competitive rates for short articles for magazines and websites, as well as larger extended texts for books etc.
I have written over 25 articles for Landscape Architects Network (now Land8), including their most read article ever, 8 Amazing Facts About Trees That You Didn’t Know. In my role as Content Director for LAN I advised the team of over 50 writers on how to improve their writing, as well as researched the latest trends in landscape architecture and viral marketing.

Chediston Partners LLP
I write for Chediston Partners on the subject of fairness business. We believe that markets become more sustainable when all parties act fairly. This involves offering fair terms of business, and financial redress, as well as not pressing that immediate momentary advantage in favour of helping the smaller party for longer term gains.
