Are images on the site cleared for reuse?
Media & Press
Not yet. The gallery and headshot areas currently use reference images for layout and presentation. Do not reuse them as official press assets. Request approved imagery through the Resources or Contact pages once released.
Where can I find a short and long bio for press use?
Media & Press
The Resources page contains both a short bio and a longer version prepared from the source biography.
Where are the press links and outlet references?
Media & Press
Named outlet references are listed on the Resources page. Some items are awaiting final URL attachment because the source biography listed outlets but not complete links.
Is there a newsletter?
Newsletter & Updates
Yes. The site includes a sign-up route for updates on new work, talks, resources, and public appearances.
What should I include in a first enquiry?
Speaking & Events
A useful first message should include the purpose of the enquiry, preferred dates, relevant links or context, and any institutional affiliation.
If the FAQ does not resolve the question, route the enquiry with the right context and required details.
