welcome to 2write

2Write? Too right!

2Write is a Wellington-based communications company made up of husband and wife team, Pat Martin and Pip Desmond. We’re available for writing, editing and design, web publishing, oral history projects, publications and workshops. We’re keen to pass on our communications knowledge in groups or one-on-one. We can also show you or your organisation how to set up a dynamic newsletter, blog or  website, and help you maintain it.

Please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.

Pip wrote the 140-page guide, and Pat designed it, when we were VSA volunteers there from 2013 to 2015. It includes lessons, exercises and examples from local and international writers, as well as four stories of Timorese women’s resistance to the Indonesian occupation. Read more>
