About Julie O'Brien

I have more than 20 years' experience as a writer and editor, working as a journalist, in publication and comms roles in the public and not-for-profit sectors, and freelance writing and editing.

I have edited website content, magazines, book manuscripts, e-newsletters, theses and academic journal articles.

Relevant training and qualifications

  • Bachelor of Arts in English, Canterbury University

  • Certificate in Journalism, Wellington Polytechnic

  • Graduate Certificate in Editing, Whitireia Publishing Programme

Specialist areas

  • I also worked as a counsellor and psychotherapist for 15 years, so I bring specialist expertise to mental health content.

  • Most of my writing and editing work in the past decade has been in the health sector, so I have a good understanding of health conditions and the sector in general.

  • I'm also a keen gardener and know my plants from my weeds! I would love to bring my professional skills to the garden publishing world.
