We’re all in this together
We’re all in this together
I really believe it’s not about me. Or you. It’s about ALL OF US. We just each have our own contribution to make, for a better world.
That’s why you’re in business, right? Same here.
So what am I about?
I’m a card-carrying introvert for starters. Small talk makes me wobbly. But if we met at a party (before I escaped early), you’d hook me with chat about music, comedy, social consciousness and spirituality. You’d lose me on sport, celebrity gossip and reality TV – unless, of course, you mean the news.
My zone is where edgy meets ethereal – a boundless space of stream-of-conscious creativity, abject silliness and rebelling against the mundane. Then again, I’m a stickler for details and accuracy.
What’s in it for YOU?
Us introverts have sharp-as observation skills – the less we say, the more we take in: always listening, noticing. And that comes in handy helping you get to the heart of what you want your content to say.
Introverts prefer communicating one-to-one, which just happens to be the BEST way to engage your prospects. So we’re experts at writing copy that reads as if you’re only talking to one person – your ideal client.
I’m your communications hub. And words are the common thread.
If you need help with copywriting, think of me as a conduit through which you get clear on your message and get it out there.
Written your own words that just need a polish? I’ll whip those words into shape and fix any errors with my keen proofreading eye.

Who I work with
I love connecting with people one-to-one and I thrive on diverse projects. My clients are a pretty diverse bunch, too:
- Health, beauty and wellness brands
- Ethical and creative businesses
- Start-ups and sole traders
- Business coaches
- Entrepreneurs and small business
- Digital and creative agencies
What really lights my fire is making connections: with people, ideas and creative energies. I love working with businesses – of any size – driven by ethics, compassion and finding meaning in what they do… always with the collective ‘big picture’ in their sights. And if you’ve got a quirky bent and sense of humour, we’ll get along juuust fine.
“I was looking for a content writer to interpret my ideas and knowledge in a creative, authentic manner. After only one meeting with Virginia, I knew she was the one to do my work and I wasn’t wrong. She interpreted my request better than I imagined. As I said to her, she ‘has me for life’.”

Just who am I?
I’ve always loved language and sound. As a child, I made my own ‘magazines’ and recorded myself singing – with a tennis racquet ‘guitar’ and hairbrush ‘microphone’, of course!
This early fascination with words and audio led to a BA (Communications) from the University of Technology, Sydney, with stints in community radio and close to 20 years as a journalist, feature writer and copywriter, where I honed my writing chops.

And yep, Muzik is my real name. It’s Ukrainian.
Phew! That was intense…
Now the small talk’s done, let’s go deeper.
