There’s more to writing than words.
The hard part isn’t always the writing.
It’s understanding the problem. Finding the argument. Knowing what matters, what doesn’t, and what the reader needs. Human Writes works with organisations, executives and researchers to make complicated material clear, useful and persuasive.
Writing for complex work.
Strategy & business writing
Whitepapers, strategy documents, executive papers, business cases and major organisational material.
Research & funding
Grant applications, research communication and technical material translated without losing what matters.
Regulatory & stakeholder writing
Submissions, consultation responses and documents where precision, argument and audience matter.
Books & long-form work
Ghostwriting, developmental writing and substantial projects that need someone capable of holding an argument across tens of thousands of words.
We don’t just make complicated things simpler.
We work out what you’re trying to say.
Human Writes works particularly well when the source material is messy, the subject is complicated, multiple people have contributed, or the argument hasn’t quite emerged yet.
Selected work
Publishing,
rethought.
Decentralised Publishing explores creative ways to solve traditional writing and publishing challenges.
We develop original creative projects and explore ideas that challenge conventional approaches to writing and publishing.
Not technology for its own sake. Better ways of doing things that matter.

I’m a professional writer, published novelist and experienced organisational leader.
Human Writes grew from the overlap between those worlds: understanding complicated organisations and ideas, then finding the clearest way to communicate them.
I’ve spent more than two decades working inside businesses as well as writing for them. The difficult part is rarely finding better words. It’s understanding the problem well enough to know which words matter.
