Wordhoard Communications

I’m Siobhán Burke, and at Wordhoard I help people communicate well about subjects that shape the lives of communities. 

I support businesses, communities, and individuals by providing tourism development services, from research and training to mentoring and copywriting. I also specialise in editing academic research in the fields of peace studies, conflict resolution, and international relations. 
 
The combination of tourism and international relations might seem unusual, but there is a strong common thread. Both fields rely on the ability of words and ideas to carry beyond the place where they’re created. And, across all of these activities, Wordhoard is  making a small contribution to supporting the development, sustainability, and resilience of local communities.
 

Tourism Consultancy Services

Wordhoard’s tourism consultancy services have been put to use across Ireland. I focus in particular on supporting the development of grassroots tourism through communities and networks. I also put my research skills to use to support the emergence of new concepts and ideas that can be used to energise tourism activity.

For this work, I draw on my academic research and teaching skills, as well as my experience of working with story-telling in many forms both as an academic and a freelance consultant.

Current clients include Fáilte Ireland, The Sheep’s Head and Bantry Tourism Co-operative, and the West Cork islands, and I help a wide range of agencies, businesses, and individuals  who need tourism research services, training, and other supports.

Copywriting & Editing Services

Good copywriting can help you to get your message across to all kinds of audiences. It is really important to people in tourism businesses who have to win over the hearts of potential visitors who haven’t made a connection with them yet!

It is also important for academics who need to help other scholars, aid agencies, and international organisations understand the issues faced by marginalised communities and the solutions that will bring about change.  As well as supporting tourism, then,  I also provide specialist editing services. I edit academic books, journals, and other manuscripts with a careful eye on the consistency and power of the arguments being made, as well as on spelling and grammar issues.
