Author Margaret Atwood was a joy to profile. In this piece we visit her archives and learn the method to her madness. I crafted a portrait that spanned Atwood’s body of work, linking her writing to real-world events while weaving in her personality and wit. The piece demanded balancing intellectual depth with accessibility, so audiences could see not just “the author” but the human behind the pen.

Skills honed: Translating complex ideas into narrative that feels alive; building connective tissue between abstract themes and audience relatability; blending gravitas with levity to hold attention.

“It's been tried before, didn't put anything into the handmaid's tale that had not already happened.” - Margaret Atwood
