I’m Ruth Dawkins, a freelance communications professional based in Hobart, Tasmania.

I offer copywriting, editing and proofreading services.

My clients include small businesses, universities and research organisations, charities and not-for-profits, the travel and tourism sectors, and government departments at every level – local, state and federal.

I’m also an experienced feature writer in the areas of lifestyle, parenting, environment and travel.

Please take some time to explore my site and get in touch if you think I can help.

Years ago, as part of my editing role at Mothers Always Write, I was tasked with coaching a group of writers for an intensive boot camp, in which Ruth was enrolled. The process was part collaborative editing, part brutally honest feedback, and all sourced from deeply personal experiences. Ruth was a pleasure to work with: responsive, receptive, and gracious. She writes from her heart, in a style both lyrical and precise, with adept skills for the literary and expository essay.

Working with Ruth Dawkins was easy and enjoyable. Ruth helped me define my service with a lot more clarity and precision than I could have done on my own. Ruth was open and flexible to the changes I wanted to make and very efficient. I highly recommend Ruth’s expertise in copywriting and editing. Thanks Ruth!
