Read all about me.

I’m Dwight Leatham, a writer. I’m good at two core things: taking in complex topics and writing in language outsiders understand.

Clients turn to me to interview their senior people and write or to pull their drafts into one and breathe life into it. Sometimes this means fixing the messaging, sometimes the tone of voice or both.

Now and again in a briefing meeting, a client says something like ‘would you work your magic’, which makes me smile, even just now.

For 5+ years, I worked as a writer and editor at law firm Freshfields. Loved it and in 2016 set up Word Space to keep working with professional services firms.

More recently, I did an 11-month stint in internal comms at law firm White & Case. Left, then came back to what I enjoy most: interviewing people and writing.

I have an MA in Professional Writing, with distinction. I was a judge in the Writing for Design category of the 2022 D&AD awards. And before falling for words, I started off as a designer and later co-founded agency Precise Communication.

Outside work I read a lot. And I train a lot, having become hooked after a personal trainers course years ago.
