Danielle Norton
Travel, food and feature writer
~ Melbourne ~
Work one-on-one with Danielle to craft pitches that editors can’t resist, improve your writing and learn how to turn your great ideas into articles that make money.
Ask her anything and everything about travel writing and creating a freelance career that gives you the freedom and flexibility to work anywhere.
If you don’t have a website, you don’t have a business.
The first thing a potential customer does is go straight to your website. They want to learn about the services you offer and see some examples or case studies of the work you’ve done. They’ll read your testimonials to reassure themselves that you are the right person to help them.
I can help you:
- Communicate your value to your prospects
- Write a Profile or an About Us page that makes you look great
- Communicate your message clearly
- Get your website visitors to react
- Writing informative and creative blog posts that will have your customers tuning in
- Come up with entertaining blog topics that you can write yourself
- Proofread and edit the blogs you have written
- Research into your competitors
- Two rounds of revisions
- Professional proofreading

To make a positive first impression on your potential customers your copy needs to be engaging and interesting.
It also needs to be correct.
Your customers will judge you on your level of professionalism and your competency, based on how you come across in writing.
Together we can create copy that is polished to professional standards.
Everything you publish, whether it’s a sales page, a website or an article, should be easy to read and accurate.
My background as a teacher of English and an extensively published feature writer has finely honed my editing and proofreading skills.
I love spotting (and fixing) spelling and grammar errors. I can also help you to restructure your ideas so that they make sense and work their magic to convince your customers to act.

My articles have been published in Escape, The Age (SMH), Australian Traveller, International Traveller, The Women’s Weekly, Pacific Island Living, Jetstar Magazine, Virgin Australia, Explore Travel, Good Food, Delicious, Luxury Escapes, News.com, Kidspot and more.
With an extensive background in education (I’ve been teaching English, Literature and Literacy to secondary students for over two decades) I am an expert in the finer points of the English language. I have a deep understanding of how to write for a range of different audiences and write copy that is succinct, error free and engaging.
I have an Arts degree in Literature, Anthropology and Philosophy, a Diploma in Education and a post graduate certificate in Children’s Literature. This broad academic experience has honed my skills for analysing information and presenting ideas in a range of different formats, purposes and people.
Need an article for your travel magazine or newspaper? I can interview your sources and write it for you.
Got your thoughts out onto the page but need someone to shape them into something that will engage your readers?
