About

Professional writer and editor with a unique perspective

I'm a curious Australian soul with a love of words and a desire to know more, more, more about all things in life. I bring nearly two decades of civil service policy writing experience, plus a reawakened love of leisure time writing. My passions are travel, hiking, languages, literature, music, and red wine, all of which will engage my attention immediately! Anything else provides an opportunity for research and learning, something I relish.

I’ve travelled a lot, often solo, and my enthusiasm and curiosity about the world means I’ll likely never stop! I hold a Master of Arts in International Relations, an Honours Arts degree in Japanese studies, plus management and editing qualifications. I speak Japanese, plus some Spanish and French. German is my next challenge.

Work Terms

I am available for remote, freelance work immediately. I prefer contact via email (jacqui.beaton@gmail.com), although am open to possible Skype/other messaging appointments if that is the client's preference.
