Read all about me.

Hello, I’m Dwight Leatham, a writer. Before falling for words, I started off as a designer and later co-founded agency Precise Communication. 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 new life into it. Sometimes this means fixing the messaging, sometimes the tone of voice or both.

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.

Later, 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. And I was a judge in the Writing for Design category of the 2022 D&AD awards.

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