Gemma Harris
Freelance Writer & Content Creator
British writer, ocean living nomad. Freelance writer, experienced in travel, maritime and sustainability content.
I write with passion. I write to inspire. I write to change minds.
I write, so you don’t have to.
TRAVEL
Travel has been an integral part of my life from a young age. After several content writing roles in London for adventure travel companies, I left the city for a life on the oceans to live and write about travel experiences first-hand.
For me, travel writing is to tell authentic stories, share unique experiences whilst inspiring others. My expertise is in destination reviews, travel guides and itineraries.
MARITIME
Working onboard superyachts has provided me with a wealth of knowledge within the industry, from inter-departmental operations, client needs, cruising and destination guides, general industry developments to sustainability.
My maritime writing to date has predominately been crew focussed. I write blog posts, feature articles and advice pieces to provide a better understanding of the yachting world.
SUSTAINABILITY
Utilising my freelance writing skills and love for our oceans, I put pen to paper over various sustainability topics. I have written articles for marine conservation charities and most recently, founded Seastainable Yachting - a purpose driven platform, helping to drive change in the yacht industry.
Writing about sustainability is with the aim to drive change, to help turn intention to action and to challenge opinion. Through Seastainable Yachting I am experienced with web content, newsletter & blog writing, interviews and company spotlights.
Hi.
I am a words person.
Excel spreadsheets give me the shivers and tax returns make me cry.
As a freelance writer that has lived off the beaten track, in between backpacking and luxury travel I have many travel stories to draw upon. As a freelance writer that has lived onboard superyachts, I can write about the industry with great knowledge and authenticity. And as a freelance writer that has spent time seeing first-hand the damage we are doing to our world, I write about sustainability with a passion to drive change.
I have come across many brands and companies wanting to make a difference and with my words, I am helping them and can help you. Let me take your content problems from your hands and into mine with my time, energy and creativity, I will return authoritative and engaging content.
