Writing

June’s day job

Because the whole starving artist thing does not appeal to June, she runs her own copywriting and fundraising consultancy called June’s Fundraising Letter. She writes fundraising appeals and other copy for both print and digital audiences to improve charities’ communications with their supporters. Her advice on fundraising and marketing strategy has increased revenue for many of her clients. June now manages a team of copywriters to meet demand for her services. She also conducts tailored copywriting and fundraising training for selected clients.

By her calculations, June writes around 150,000 words a year for different charities, helping them to raise millions of dollars for causes covering international aid, social welfare and justice, health and conservation.

Flash fiction

Flash fiction is fun! It doesn’t take nearly as long to write as a novel – although it’s very tricky to get right. And it doesn’t take nearly as long to read either – great for reading on the train or when you’re in a queue or you need a little story hit without getting engrossed in a huge tome.

Check out a few flash fiction samples – free for you.

Published articles and content

A few samples from June’s writing career.

  • Playing God? The cloning of Dolly the Sheep.
  • Announcement of the Australian Synchrotron. Discover more about the synchrotron here.
  • Training detectives using simulated crime scenarios.
  • Multimedia product for children.

June also owns the educational website itute.com with maths and physics resources for primary and secondary school students. Very popular are the exam solutions for Year 12 maths and physics students. All content on this site is developed by June’s father, an Australian VCE maths and physics teacher.

Lifting the Fog on Business Intelligence

Not completely new to publishing

In her geeky days, June acquired enough IT expertise to do a developmental edit for an associate who wanted to publish a book on business analytics. Lifting the Fog on Business Intelligence was released in 2013.

“Thank you to June, my editor, who has made my ramblings a lot easier to read. June, your flair and prowess with written English amazes me. Without your input, this book would not be what it is. You have taken thoughts and ideas that are sometimes way out there, and put them into simple English sentences that don’t read like Klingon to the business-minded reader.”

– Ferenc Mantfeld, Company Founder, SeeMoreData

“A compelling SF story. It’s a real pleasure to see a hard SF story for YA, as there have been so few good examples lately. The characters and story premise are strong and the style engaging.”

A unique and fascinating idea and this theme will really appeal to YA readers. A lot of great twists and the ethical dilemmas were particularly interesting. A story that really kept me reading to the end.
