Writing & Communication
Word Solutions offers three core writing and communications services: media and publicity support to help you get your story out into the world, content writing to build your presence and keep your audience engaged, and grant and award writing to help you secure the funding your work deserves. All three require craft, attention to detail and an understanding of what the audience needs to hear - and that's exactly what I bring.
Media & Publicity
Your news deserves to be heard - but getting it in front of the right people takes more than just writing a press release and hoping for the best.
I write media releases that get to the point, carry your message clearly and give journalists what they need to run with your story. I have strong regional and rural media contacts across South Australia, and I know how to tailor content for print, online, radio and social media.
Whether you need a single media release, an ongoing publicity relationship, or help managing a sensitive situation when things get complicated - I can help.
What I can do for you:
-
Media release writing and distribution
-
Media liaison and relationship management
-
Publicity strategy and planning
-
Full press kits
-
Crisis communications support
-
Media coaching (preparing you for interviews)
-
Repurposing media content for your website, newsletter and social media

Content Writing
Good content does more than fill a page - it builds trust, improves your search visibility and gives your audience a reason to keep coming back. Whether you need someone to write it from scratch or polish what you've already got, I can help.
I write in your voice, for your audience, with a clear understanding of what small businesses and regional organisations actually need to communicate.
What I can do for you:
-
Website content and SEO copywriting
-
Newsletters (MailChimp and MailerLite)
-
Social media content and scheduling
-
Blog writing and content strategy
-
SOP creation and business documentation
-
Proofreading and editing

Grant Writing & Award Submissions
Grant writing is one of those tasks that most people find genuinely difficult - and it's not because they lack ideas. It's because translating a vision into the precise language a funding body wants to read is a very particular skill. It's one I genuinely love.
I work with you to understand what you need, find the right funding opportunities, and craft applications that make a strong, compelling case. I also support award submissions - because getting recognised for your work matters.

Nan Berrett has an incredible knack for being able to see the big picture and tie everything together. When I’m in the deadline panic zone Nan has an uncanny calming effect, and never fails to bring me back to focus and we get the job done beautifully as a team. I am not exaggerating when I say Nan’s input has been like a magic bullet for my projects.
