Hi! I’m Ella: avid reader, versatile writer, and proud user of the Oxford comma.*

I’m a trained journalist who specializes in writing, editing, and storytelling. Over the past five years I’ve covered topics from regional agricultural trends, to dogs at music festivals; for platforms including lifestyle magazines, local newspapers, tourism websites, and corporate blogs.

I’d be happy to tackle a project with you.

You can also find me irregularly and irreverently (and possibly irrelevantly) writing about what I eat on my food blog GourmB, or at my day job editing Open Minds Quarterly, published at NISA/Northern Initiative for Social Action.

*I can leave it out if you think it’s clunky, unnecessary and outdated.
