Daniel Fahey

Writer. Journalist. Editor.

Adored by readers. Shunned by Pulitzer. Daniel is the best one-eyed, tinnitus-addled, writing iconoclast to escape the Isle of Wight with his liver largely intact. He writes about travel, music, football and feel-good news stories. However, his soul remains for sale. For a price.

Services — Gun Fun For Hire

words, wrangled into shape, for a fee

Books. Articles. Blogs. Stone-cold news journalism. Box-fresh branding. Features you want to pin to the wall. Investor reports. Substack smut. Ghostwriting for LinkedIn thought leaders. Snarky WhatsApp messages. Post-it notes to that one f–ing neighbour. Ransom letters. Legally-binding (probably) IOUs.

Writing

Words worth reading. Whatever needs writing.

Copywriting

Website rebrands. Press releases. Slogans. Want words that sell? Buy mine.

Editing

Turning the incomprehensible into clear, confident, corset-tight copy. Every time.

Having managed the production of 26 Lonely Planet guidebooks and edited several major websites, I oversee content projects from idea to execution with ease.
