Writing

Joanna is represented as an essayist and a writer of literary non-fiction by Anna Webber at AM Heath.

Her writing practice mainly centres on work about nationhood and identity as viewed through the lens of landscape and horticulture. She is interested in the contested histories and narratives of place, and the concept of ‘claiming’ or owning land. A proposal for a book-length essay on this subject was shortlisted for the 2021 Fitzcarraldo Editions Essay Prize.

Birding, Florets

She also occasionally work with brands on copywriting projects, like this one for Cawley Studio.
