Editorial & Long-form Writing
Reading, writing, editing: a nuclear family.
Editorial and long-form writing allows for a deeper exploration of people, places, ideas and organisations than is often possible within conventional marketing.
Periplum’s work includes articles and blogs, reports, different types of ghostwriting, literary editing and commissioned writing developed across a range of contexts and domains.

Approach
Underpinning Periplum is versatility. No discrepancy is made between the seemingly different forms of writing; they all compliment one another. Periplum’s role is to demonstrate that fluency in collaborative ways.
Whether exploring the details of a place, documenting a project or developing an article, the process involves identifying what is vital, and then exploding the subject.
Research and observation form the foundation of this process, aided by a respect for the power of the writing process.
Areas of Experience
Recent projects have included editorial articles for magazines, website copy, bespoke editing and co-writing with published authors, and longer-form commissioned work.
Creatives often have millions of ideas ready to burst, books or projects that have been written in theory, but seem to get tangled and lost in the maze of the everyday. Working with a voracious writer and editor can clear the pathway and bring those ideas to fruition: to strip the wires for the current to flow.
Jonny Mumby’s background in education, travel and creative writing, such as work on a novel, short stories, poems and articles, has shaped an approach rooted in both structure and intuition.
