About

A few places I have previously written for:

My writing has been featured in a diverse array of digital and print magazines, catering to readers across various English-speaking markets, from North America to the UK. Here are few examples of publications I have previously written for:

Hi, I'm Rosemary, AKA Rosie...

Rosemary Richings in a celebrate neurodiversity shirt smiling
A writer, editor, and speaker who provides lived experience-informed education and insight into what it truly means to write and talk about the subject of neurodiversity and chronic illness at work, school, and everyday life. Everything — from inclusive, stigma-free language to accessibility — is prioritised.   My clients range from publications seeking more inclusive and authentic perspectives on neurodiversity to diversity and inclusion departments eager to enhance their understanding of their neurodivergent colleagues and clients. 


Here's what I bring to the table:
  • Knowledge of inclusive language and accessible communication that speaks to the issues that neurodivergent individuals face daily.
  • A niche platform, established through years of content creation, media appearances, and strong relationships within the disability advocacy community.
  • Experience working with diverse English-speaking audiences, which include everything from grassroots communities to large, corporate-sized organisations.

Here are a few stats about me that illustrate exactly what I mean by that:
10+ years of  writing & digital marketing experience
2  book deals
46+ bylined articles, guest blog posts, and media appearances

Client shortlist:

Besides the magazines I have previously written for, I have also worked as a writer or editor with a range of organisations, including tech and e-commerce companies, as well as neurodiversity training initiatives. Examples of the clients I have previously worked with include:
uptimize
Lexxic
e-bay
YellowPages
Saatva

Before Rosemary worked with us, our hesitation was that not have an in-depth knowledge of the specifics of the sector, but she provided us with a valuable personal perspective on the subject matter. She is definitely a good writer to work with - very flexible to your needs, and responsive and understanding when it comes to feedback. She had very prompt responses, and was an excellent collaborator that was quick to get to work on feedback.

This is just a quick one, for now, to say that I love what you did with it! It seems to flow so much better to me. All your suggestions make sense, and I’m revising to address them.
