ABOUT

I am an independent native-English writer and editorial consultant, based in Switzerland but global by experience. On behalf of big brands, industry leaders and consultancies, I find creative, considered solutions that stand out and work in context.

As a former strategic planner who held client-facing roles at leading communications agencies – in New York, Paris, Vienna and Zurich – I get a quick read on complex issues. As a trained interviewer, I ask the right questions. As a published writer, I find the heart of the story.

Apart from hands-on learning, I have received additional training in qualitative research techniques, music journalism and writing as a craft. My short fiction, essays and offbeat profiles have appeared in acclaimed literary and culture magazines published in the UK and US.

What all this means is that I have developed an acute sense of how and why language works – or doesn’t – and a passion for working with words.

– Daryl Miller Salomons, 2025

Note: I do not use large language models (LLMs) or generative AI at any point in the writing process, from brainstorming and outlining to writing and revising. I would be happy to discuss my assessment of the current writing technologies and resources available, based on personal experimentation, coursework and continued learning. Feel free to get in touch.
