I transform your words & ideas into memorable stories

Raksha Daryanani Thani

I have always worked at the intersection of text, voice, and performance. After years of HR and internal communications roles across multinationals, I transitioned to freelance storytelling, writing, and editing in 2018. 

Since then, I have scaled B2B content for a hospitality start-up, prepared non-fiction manuscripts for publishing across the EU and US, delivered and moderated educational keynotes, masterclasses, and workshops for brands and universities, and guided 500+ applicants into top-tier UK, EU, and German universities. 

My non-fiction articles, poems, and essays have appeared in literary and commercial magazines, and I have ghostwritten books and stories for authors and leaders across industries. 

I love bringing words off the page so your message comes across with clarity, precision, and emotion, without the use of AI.

Drop me a line to find out how I can help you.
