Will Heath

Thank you for visiting my writing portfolio. Here you'll find writing about Japanese culture, world travel, and literature.

My name is Will and I am a freelance writer specialising in literature, travel, food, Japanese culture, and entertainment. Originally from the UK, I travel and work as a digital nomad but predominantly split my time between London and Tokyo.

As a Japan specialist writer, I have experience writing about travel in Japan, as well as expertise in Japanese literature, art, history, food, anime, and video games. I write for multiple online publications on all of these subjects, and more.

I am also the co-owner of Books and Bao: a literature and travel website specialising in East Asian culture.
