Background

About David Walker

I work with publishers to create persuasive content for audiences. I edit two online publications for Mahlab: Public Accountant for Australia's Institute of Public Accountants, and Financial Accountant for the UK-based Institute of Financial Accountants. My consultancy, Shorewalker DMS, specialises in advising on, editing and creating detailed public reports and business/economic content creation, editing and publishing. We work with organisations who want to give their messages more impact, clarity and reach (usually with fewer words). Recent and current clients include NSW Treasury, The CEO Magazine, Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand, and the Australian Institute of Company Directors. We've also supplied AEMO, Mahlab Media, CPA Australia, Thomson Reuters, Xero, KPMG and others. As an editor and writer, I have proven expertise in developing engaging, high-impact content for online and offline brands. I've edited global-award-winning print and online business magazines such as CPA Australia's INTHEBLACK, helped online businesses increase profitability, and used content to build the case for economic policy change at leading think-tanks. I've led high-performance editorial teams across print and online media; in 2016 I was a finalist in Publish Australia's Editor of the Year award. You may particularly want to work with me if you have difficult subject matter that involves high-expertise people and organisations. I've worked effectively with leading academics, CEOs, government officials and experts of many stripes to bring ideas to the attention of their audiences, readers and media organisations. If you're not sure whether you want to hire me but you have a content or communications challenge that you're not sure how to approach, contact me and let's talk. I'm always interested to hear about people's challenges - and the right solution may be closer than you think.
