Need a podcast writer?

You’re in the right place.

Welcome.
I'm Gemma.

I am a highly experienced true crime and nonfiction podcast writer and researcher. I write stories that are designed to be read out loud and listened to. 

I go beyond just the basic details of the who, where, and when. My focus is the thought-provoking nuance and complexities of the why, how, and what next, in placing victims and survivors at the forefront. I drill down into the implications of broader, macro-level, systemic social, legal, and cultural issues impacting law enforcement investigations, the machinations of the criminal justice system, and how these affect victims, survivors, and their families.

If you’re a true crime or nonfiction podcaster or YouTuber in search of a writer/researcher, contact me to level up your content.
