Hi! I’m Will - trans, queer and disabled advocacy writer
What I do:
I write about the lives led and issues faced by Trans+ and disabled people, in first-person life stories, op-eds, reported articles, web copy, blog posts and beyond.
What it's like to work with me:
"Will's personal and insightful reflections offer a unique perspective that is often underrepresented in the media."
Ready to work together?

In a historic moment underscored by hate and media-perpetuated lies about my communities, we need allies like you - to help fight the hostility, ignorance and misinformation contributing to suffering.
More than ever, we need welcoming spaces and empowering platforms to tell our stories - on our terms.
