Welcome to the website of Fiona Harper: Freelance Travel and Yachting Writer, Web Editor, Copywriter.
- I write.
- I engage.
- I inform.
- But most of all, as a Travel Writer, I entertain.
Travel.....
Boating..... Lifestyle.....
If you
require engaging, entertaining editorial to delight your
readers, you've come to the right place. Particularly if your focus
involves taking readers above, under, on or, indeed, in the
water. Cruise Ships, Super Yachts, Day Sailers or Kayaks, no vessel
is too big or too small to write about. Whether indulging in
a luxury voyage, sailing a majestic tall ship or boarding a working freighter for adventure expeditions, therés a good chance you'll find me onboard. With notebook in hand and camera slung around my neck, it's how I dig out the best stories. Back on land, waterfront destinations, islands, marinas, natural wilderness and soft adventure are a particular specialty.
Pablo Picasso once said a painter
will transform the sun into a yellow dot, while a true artist, using their intelligence will transform a yellow dot into the sun. As a creative writer I endeavour to transform words into a journey. To evoke the sights, smells, textures and tastes of travel. To take you into the moment.
I am not paid for my labour, but
for my vision. To write creatively, to look afresh at what others may take for granted. To find intriguing angles where others see the mundane. This is just one good reason to commission me to craft exclusive feature articles for your publication. Other, no less important reasons, are the fact that I've never missed a deadline. Ever! I am ethically driven, independent and creatively unique. Plus, I'm not a bad writer, combined with an eye for photography.
As a freelancer who often
researches, travels and writes alone, I rely on a sense of humour to
see me through the toughest writing schedule. It also helps having a
penchant for a sassy Margaret River Sav Blanc to ease the late night angst of many, many hours spent at the computer while on assignment.

exclusive copy to engage your readers? |
