I’m John Wolcott.

I’m a writer, editor, and content strategist based in Asia-Pacific.

Writing Portfolio

I write a newsletter called Stories from Thailand. I recount my experiences during the 2010 Red Shirt uprising. I retell stories of corrupt monks who promote Muay Thai fights in rural Thailand. Sometimes I write about simple epiphanies related to fatherhood.

I also write human interest sports stories like this one about an athlete coming to terms with his father’s brain cancer diagnosis, or how a teenage kickboxing superstar balances fighting, school, and social life. You can find most of my sports journalism here.

When time permits, I help thought leaders write books and craft professional bios.

As a long-time expat, I also write practical how-to guides for people who need to know about health insurance, relocation services, banking, and international education. I’ve also written about the challenges that come with raising mixed-race children in Thailand, stereotypes Westerns face in Thailand, and more cultural commentaries.

I wrote the video script for this revolutionary wheelchair and the narrator’s script for this resilience speaker’s backstory.
