2024 so far has been another year of helping businesses and individuals with communications and storytelling.

Here are some of the projects KiwiWords has been helping people with, month by month…

January 2024 – Screenwriting with an award-winning Kapiti coast writer/director – pushing a feature film project forward.

January-August 2024- Meeting with feature film producers each month (personal film scripts).

February 2024 – Creative writing workshops delivered.

March – Media releases created for a groundbreaking and award-winning film; getting news about the film and director’s awards and message into mainstream media to maximise awareness and engagement.

April – Writing and subediting news and newsletters for a newsmedia startup.

May – Creating and publishing news for the feature film Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon, interviewing, rolling it out in the news.

May -second half – Performing at and hosting creative writing and literary events in Northland; publishing news about events through mainstream media channels.

June – first half– Playing Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz musical at Dargaville Little Theatre. I know this has nothing to do with storytelling for business. Just wanted to mention it was fun ;0)

June –second half– Further writing and subediting news and newsletters for a newsmedia startup, as well

July – In talks with a couple of great Auckland startups to (hopefully) help with their communications and sales. I created some great examples of work for them to help focus their vision of how they want to get the world to know their brand

July-August– Preparing novel for publisher

August – first half – Publishing podcast episodes, broadcasting short stories.

August – second half – Currently in talks to work with one of NZ’s best entrepreneurship podcasts, helping market the podcast and raise awareness of it by publishing news stories about the fascinating messages coming from the interviewees. Check out Diaspora.nz for everything.
