Kerry Sunderland

I love turning big ideas into simple, evocative language. When I was only three years old, I told my parents I wanted to write and I completed my first 'book' when I was eight. At high school they called me 'Dictionary Head' and I have been publicly castigated for proofreading shopping lists, but I am proud to be a plain English advocate and spelling/punctuation pedant. For the past 22 years, I have been lucky enough to make a living out of working as a professional writer, editor and 'cross-platform media' producer. For the past decade, while living in the Byron Shire, I have edited the trade magazine, Research News, written hundreds of feature articles for a wide range of other magazines and have brought to life several award winning online documentary projects including www.spikemilliganlegacy.com, www.theburningseasonmovie.com and www.journeybeyondroadtrauma.org.
