CARELESS WHISPERS

"Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way."

Ben Hutchinson, Managing Director


"Fiona is amazingly skilled, and she has a magical way of putting thoughts into words. She has worked with a variety of scopes and briefs and easily adapts the language to suit the project or task at hand. When I was featured in a book about entrepreneurs, I chose Fiona to interview me and write about my life and business. She has a way of getting into your head and telling your story in a memorable and authentic way. It takes a lot to open up to someone about your life story, but Fiona just has that knack of putting you at ease."

Ben Hutchinson, Managing Director | Ginger Sport

Anita Bocquee, Property Stylist | Photographer


"I first heard about Fiona from a friend, when I needed someone to write articles for my property development and styling blog on Raspberry Doors. She has a way of turning a dry topic into something worth reading. She takes my ideas and writes in that wickedly humorous style she is known for, yet still keeps the tone authentic to me. When we needed to focus on the content of our Guest Booklet for Instant Hotel, she could see what we wanted to say and nailed it. She's so easy to work with. We're glad we can call on her, when our lives get too busy, to express our ideas and bring them to life."

Tarita Botsman, Opera Singer | Creative Director


"Keeping on top of my solo career and running my own international performing-arts business means I don't have the spare time to write and review the publicity material we need to share our reputation as "Australia's most beautiful voices." I've known Fiona personally for many years, but I had no idea of her creative talent until I needed someone with the intellect to quickly understand our industry, as well as the clarity and skill to pitch us to a much broader audience. Fiona has also used her eagle eyes to edit our CD sleeves, and our latest collaboration has seen her doing hours of meticulous research for my next top-secret project. It's not easy working with creative types and giving them focus, so I do sometimes wonder if there's anything this lady can't get her head around!"

Tarita Botsman, Opera Singer, Creative Director | The 7 Sopranos

Scott Gaffney MBA | Business Development Consultant


"I engaged Fiona to turn my resume into something worth reading. I'm highly qualified and an expert in my field, but like a lot of people, my resume was not exactly attention grabbing. A friend told me about her, and to be honest I wasn't sure what to expect. Somehow, she took my extensive 30-year career and condensed it into two pages of focused and memorable information. With a few targeted questions—and what seems like an intuitive knowing of what people need to know—Fiona turned my resume into a true reflection of my skills and abilities. She made it seem easy."

Dr Jennifer Bartlett | Author, Academic


"I worked with Fiona on an international project where she edited several academic book chapters. Her attention to detail is excellent. She edited the manuscripts in great detail and in accordance with APA style. Working between Norway and Australia was no problem."

Steve Woodruff | The King of Clarity


"I like websites—and they are rare—that get right to the point. Simple, clear, easy to navigate. Sometimes, I'll highlight great examples. Fiona Thompson recently appeared on my online radar, and the first thing I noticed was her compelling summary on Linkedin. Resuscitating your written content, so you can get on with running your business. Brilliant. Fiona brings your writing to life because you have better things to do. I get it immediately. I don't (yet) know Fiona, and she has no idea I'm writing this, nor has she paid me for it. I just love to highlight nice work that I come across."

Steve Woodruff, Clarity Consultant | Author of Clarity Wins

Sally Ogilvie | Studio Manager


"Fiona provided her excellent advice and assistance in the development of our website and blog and has been with us from the beginning. Efficient, accurate, and spot on with regards to tone and comprehension, I would highly recommend Fiona to anyone looking for the best professional editing services Brisbane has to offer."
