About Write Enterprises

Twelve years after entering real estate journalism via the ad features sector, my passion for property has never taken a back step. Even purchasing my first home in Ipswich, in outer-west Brisbane, in 2023 – when cash rates were still increasing – couldn’t halt my enjoyment of analysing property statistics and data including Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) policies; updating national real estate reports; and writing property sales descriptions.

This is not forgetting the many, imaginative articles I have relished writing about for The Courier Mail, The Herald Sun, The Sydney Morning Herald and property website entrepreneurs. What ideas, we hear you ask? Plenty have sprouted from my property buying experiences while others have originated from my interests in French history, animals, and the classic 1986 movie, Top Gun and its 2022 sequel (see Writing Collection).

Did I mentioned that I’m an old hat at writing engaging words swiftly while working confidently with deadlines? You have to be when attending and writing about Saturday property auctions that Sunday readers will read. Other weekend events where story deadlines have been key for this journalist have included attending rural sports carnivals in extreme weather. Of course, being hit by a shot put in Longreach in far north-west Queensland when working at the local newspaper wasn’t supposed to be part of one weekend’s intended article. But luckily, my cameras and I survived this ordeal – and the painful moment resulted in an amusing story for my next editorial and, 14 years later, this website.

These days, I work in much safer conditions in my Ipswich townhouse, with my home office overlooking the cottage garden I’ve started from scratch and that I’m (almost) more enthusiastic about than real estate.

I also remain happy to turn my handy pen to any word work opportunities, with 20-plus years as a journalist combined with buying a property on my own in tough financial conditions and getting hit by a shot put ensuring I’m both fearless and highly experienced when it comes to wordsmith work.

You name it – Write Enterprises can solve it. With words.
