Hello
I’m Amy Richardson, a content specialist based in Margaret River in Western Australia. I began my career in mainstream media as a journalist and later a sub-editor, working in Sydney and London before eventually returning home to WA.
​
Today I run ARC+M from our property in the South West, where I continue to work with clients across Australia and beyond. The services I offer run the gamut of marketing, sub-editing, proofreading and technical writing. As a freelance writer, I also enjoy any chance to explore and write about what's in my own backyard.
​
Life these days is a balance of client projects, studies in horticulture, and spending time with my young family outdoors.
