Industry books

On a mission to change the world? Have a burning idea for a book? I write niche publications for all sorts of sectors. Here's an award-winning project that's still making an impact!


The brief

The Place Economy by Hoyne is a 400-page industry publication that brings together leading thought leaders and practitioners on the subjects of architecture, urban planning, property development, emotional and physical health, sustainability, philosophy and more.

During this 8-month project, I researched, located and interviewed different luminaries around the world and managed 44 contributors.

I crafted essays, interviews, feature articles and case studies, sourced images and illustrations and worked with Hoyne's wonderful design team through to final production.
