Hello
and welcome.
These
pages show the strengths and capabilities I bring as a writer.
Arranged broadly thematically, I have highlighted areas of special
interest and expertise – including projects on which I’ve
collaborated with others. Excerpts of my work appear through the
site, and some samples can be downloaded.
Each
commission is approached afresh in my quest to capture the essence
of a topic, finding new angles to present. In so doing I set out to
inspire and inform. Part of the challenge – and great satisfaction
– of publishing, curating, broadcasting, and lecturing, is adapting
material to the purpose, audience and medium.
In
communicating ideas and information, I regard presentation and
style as important as the content. As a writer I have always worked
closely with graphic designers and photographers, aiming to secure
an attractive and effective balance between text and
image.
The same
principles apply to my design practice – about which you’ll find
more at www.extra-room.com.
You can
visit my LinkedIn
profile for more detail, and check out recent Facebook
mentions and tweets @Jackieherald.
Please
read on – and contact me with a project or assignment that I can
help you realise.
Jackie
