Freelance writing, copy editing and proofreading.
About
Hello, I’m Ashley. I’m an Australian living in Spain.
After many years of working a miscellany of government office administration jobs in Melbourne, I’m in the midst of shifting my career into freelance writing and other affiliated undertakings. And because a mid-life career change didn’t feel daunting enough, I also decided to move to another continent a few months later. And then get married shortly afterwards.
Work
I recently spent a year as the Lead Writer in the Marketing and Communications team at Art Processors, creating case studies, blog articles, and social media content for their incredible experience design projects across the United States and Asia-Pacific.
I’ve also written for the English edition of Neos Kosmos, a long-running Greek community newspaper in Australia. For reasons of personal interest and enjoyment, I’m also a copy editor for Bardo Methodology, and print and online publication focused on underground music, mythology, history, and esotericism.
You can check out examples of my work on the Portfolio page.
Other
I have a Master of International Relations degree from The University of Melbourne, and a Bachelor of Asian Studies (Hons) from La Trobe University. I wrote my Honours thesis about the abduction of Japanese citizens in the 70s and 80s by North Korean agents. If you have a strangely pressing urge to read about this topic, get in touch and I’ll dig it up!
I’ve also done a bit of volunteer voiceover and reading work for Vision Australia Library and Vision Australia Radio (perhaps one day there’ll be a portfolio of voiceover work on this site…) and I spent eight years as a performing member of Wadaiko Rindo, a Melbourne-based Japanese taiko drumming group.
