Affordable writing, research, planning and co-design for social enterprises, eco-businesses, small nonprofit organisations and community groups.
Where some see darkness, we see stars.

Why Night Sky Thinking
Are you a social enterprise, eco-business, small organisation or community group with big ideas for a better future for humans and the world around us?
Night Sky Thinking provides affordable grant and report writing, research and analysis, strategic planning, consultations, co-designed projects, and content and copy editing to help you get us there.
The beauty and mystery of the night sky helps us imagine different worlds.
We help you to think spaciously, with guidance from shining stars of world-class knowledge and practice.
Small lights and soft sounds are clearer at night.
We believe that every voice has value. So we offer affordable, negotiated rates in reach of every budget — and when we work with you, we can help you see perspectives and hear voices that are often drowned out.
Why use us?
We’re good at what we do. We approach every project with enthusiasm. We’re honest and transparent. We listen carefully. We treat everyone with respect.

We acknowledge that we live and work on Aboriginal land, land of the palawa/pakana people of lutruwita/Tasmania. We pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, to their elders past and present, and to all who continue caring for country, sharing stories and upholding rights.
