    Guidance & Input on Book Cover Design

    I am a multi-genre writer, editor, and researcher.
    I have contributed texts to numerous books, art catalogues, monographs, and
    exhibition projects that bring together visual, literary, and archival
    cultures—particularly in ‘post’-colonial, ‘post’-Apartheid, and ‘post’-traumatic
    contexts. These include The Interpreters: South Africa’s New Non-fiction (Soutie
    Press, 2025); Johannes Phokela: Only Sun in the Sky Knows How I Feel (A Lucid
    Dream) (Zeitz MOCAA, 2023) and An Anthology of Non-Conformism: Rebel Wom!n,
    Words, Ways, and Wonders     (DIO Press, 2024).
    I am the author of David Goldblatt: The Last Interview (Steidl, 2019), the editor of
    Nicola Brandt’s The Distance Within (Steidl, 2025), and a co-editor of Stockholm
    Cosmologies     (Liljevalchs, 2025) and Radical Solidarity: A Reader (Zeitz MOCAA,
    2023), among others.
    I’ve edited numerous novels, memoirs, non-fiction essay collections, and academic
    journals. I excel in structural and non-mother-tongue English language editing. As a vegan, I’m inspired by speculative fiction and narrative-led culture change.
    I hold a Bachelor of Journalism from Rhodes University, a Master of Arts (Creative
    Writing) from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, and a PhD (Literature) from the University of Cape Town.

    Preferred genres: Narrative non-fiction, Novels, and Memoirs with an essayistic, philosophical, or speculative bent.

    With a focus on marketing materials

    My speciality is marketing materials. I’ve been a writer in marketing for most of my career and am really good at putting together the email streams, flyers, and other marketing material for anything that has to be sold.
    I’ve been a writer for business for the better part of 20 years. I’ve written, edited, proofread, and published 1000s of articles, social media captions, email newsletters, sales funnels, and all the marketing paraphernalia of businesses all over the world. From non-profits to global digital agencies, veterinary compounding to wine estates and travel, I can work with it. I’d LOVE to help you get your book to the publishers, polished and as perfect as possible. My aim is never to standardise or erase voice, but to smooth out and remove errors and inconsistencies. The ADHD pattern recognition is strong in me!

    Preferred Genre: I read mostly fantasy & science fiction, but can and will edit and proof any genre at all.
