Ways of Working

Helping businesses deliver clear, effective documentation with minimal onboarding.

I’m available for on-site work across the Sydney region, ideally around the North Shore, Central Sydney, and the West.

Hybrid arrangements are welcome and preferred.

Trading as Texterity Documentation & Training, I’m based in the Blue Mountains, with North Shore accommodation as required to support on-site work.

Ideally, I’m seeking direct engagements with small to medium-sized businesses, where I can deliver experienced, hands-on support without needing extensive onboarding. While I am open to contract opportunities should they arise, my focus is on working directly with business clients.

Depending on requirements, I will arrange suitable public liability and professional indemnity insurance.

Texterity will negotiate rates on a case by case basis depending on the situation, technology, and requirements. (Click here for information on Technical Writer rates for Sydney Australia.)

Contract and Commitment Fee – on agreement of an engagement, a proforma contract will be signed by both parties and Texterity will invoice for an initial 3-5 days work (depending on contract scope) payable in arrears.
