Writing

During my 8 years in Japan, I contributed to several travel and lifestyle publications, writing about art, history, culture, and food. I conducted fieldwork and interviewed local stakeholders to gather information for my articles. This provided me with a unique opportunity to travel to new places and interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds, expanding my perspective and cultural understanding.

I have had the pleasure to work with Martha on several prominent projects for the Japan Tourism Agency covering UNESCO World Heritage Sites, natural heritage and biodiversity, and general tourism. Martha is a reliable and intuitive writer who quickly grasps the brief, asks pertinent questions, and delivers high-quality writing on time. Most importantly, she is a delight to work with, exhibiting grace and good humor under pressure.

Martha has an eye for detail and a flare for copy; two invaluable traits in a writer and editor.

As a proofreader/copyeditor for the English-language quarterly Kyoto Journal, Martha Knauf has greatly impressed me with her high-level skills and consistently impeccable attention to detail. She also showed herself to be capable of successfully taking on the challenges of interviewing to develop a well-structured and informative profile piece, as featured in our most recent issue (KJ 103 – Creativity). It is truly a pleasure to work with her.
