Videmus is a hub of inspiration for travelers, misfits, and non-mainstream creative people.
We’re body positive, SW-positive, and oh-so-delightfully queer.
The real juiciness is on the Videmus PATREON. I get real about what life as a nomadic creative person is like, show you vulnerable behind-the-scenes projects, and even feature works of other members.
I’M SYD (THEY/THEM).
Writing is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.
So, instead of doing it, I spent a long time forcing myself to do other things I heard would “be better” for a career.
It sucked.
I stopped doing all that other stuff and decided to write great books and help other people write theirs.
The kind that represents all genders, sexualities, and jobs, and have a kick-ass plot, too.
There we have it. Less sucky for the literary world.
In professional words: since 2008, I’ve been working in the literary and visual arts industries. I’ve written for clients based in over 15 countries, ghostwritten for USA Today and Kindle bestselling authors, and have created visual and written content for companies across the globe.
This is what I do full-time: ghostwriting novels, host The Videmus Podcast, and spill all my dark secrets on Patreon.
After 7 years in Asia, I’m currently based in Auckland, New Zealand.

FUN STUFF.
I’m originally from one of the poorest counties in Alabama.
In 2012 I moved to Hong Kong, one of the richest financial capitals of the world. (That was a shock, but I lived there for 4 years.)
I wrote my first full novel in 20 days at age 14 for NaNoWriMo.
It was 53,000 words and a damn good story that I’m still proud of.
I can water dowse. That means I can use a stick to locate water underground! (A lot of people think it’s a myth.)
My fine arts background is in watercolor and oil painting.
I use a Canon 600D (T3i) with vintage M42 lenses: a 50mm and a 28mm. Yes, it’s old. But it works.
