The Mighty Inkpot

Dave Fagg. Versatile writer, editor, and contract researcher.

Dave has proven himself a highly skilled operator in writing successful applications for grants to advance our efforts in community-building in the Long Gully area of Bendigo.  Thanks to his initiative in pinpointing just the right funding sources and framing his submissions to maximum effect, Dave has made it possible for our group to run imaginative programs and projects which would otherwise never have happened.

His understanding of what we’re about and unerring ability to make good things happen have been fundamental in creating a vibrant and hugely positive presence in one of the most socially disadvantaged areas of our city.

I’m Dave Fagg

I’ve been a writer ever since my dad let me copy out letters to my Nanna on his manual typewriter.

My specialties are editing, writing grants and reports, and consulting in the nonprofit sector, particularly youth, community, and faith-based organisations. I also do contract research work such as literature reviews, qualitative interviews and analysis, and editing of academic writing.

My experience in teaching, youth work, and community work has developed excellent communication skills, an enthusiasm for deadlines, and the ability to listen to what clients really want, as well as what they need.

You can find out more about me here, or browse my LinkedIn, or see what others think of my work.

Get in touch to discuss your project—I’m looking forward to working with you.
