Writing with compassion

Hi, I’m Rowan!

I’m a multilingual writer and animal handler who uses words to solve problems and improve lives. With a background in Environmental & Wildlife Management, my added experience in the technical, veterinary, retail, and creative writing industries helps me step into the shoes—or paws!—of other living beings, and to bridge gaps in communication using skill, compassion, and empathy.

(And, after turning my own cat into a circus act, connecting with human audiences is a breeze.)

Client Testimonials

  • “His help and guidance were invaluable in getting me unstuck on my current project. I came to him with a pile of loosely connected ideas and he not only helped me put them together in a cohesive way, but offered a new perspective and valuable advice on how to further improve my project, and workflow in general. If you’re struggling with organizing your ideas and turning them into a finished product, he’s your guy. If you have a new idea for a project but don’t know how to get it off the ground, he’s your guy. He’ll walk you through your thought process and help you discover things about your project you didn’t even know you knew.”

  • “Rowan’s writing, editing, and story development experience is nothing short of exceptional. His keen eye for getting to the core of a message and making it shine through in all the projects he tackles speaks to his ability to craft compelling narratives. What truly sets him apart is his intuitive and outside-the-box thinking, as well as honed problem-solving skills.
