Welcome. My name is Gabriel Schembri, I am a  journalist, writer, educator  and communications coordinator from Malta. For the past ten years I have had the opportunity to work in some of the largest, most prominent newsrooms in Malta. Now I focus on freelance writing and communications projects, running the comms for a human rights NGO and a college, among other things.

During a recent two-and-a-half years travel experience, I decided to dedicate my time and energy to freelance content writing, copy writing and journalism. For the past couple of years I managed to gain priceless experience working with news organisations and businesses from a vast array of different sectors. 

I had the opportunity to work on press packs for international exhibitions, write content for websites of different companies and organisations and also managed a number of social media campaigns in Malta and abroad. (Click here for a sample of my content writing work.) I also write scripts for adverts and documentaries.  

For my work, I mostly write in English. But because I share a huge interest in the Maltese language, I shift to my native language when it comes to writing fiction. In 2014 I published my first book, Esklussiva Dotkom. The book was short listed for the National Book Price. In 2017,
after a year of volunteering abroad, I came home fueled with inspiration to write my second work of fiction – Patria. 

In 2024, I published Kafe’ Kolombja, a book of short stories from South America, particularly Mexico and Colombia, two countries I lived in during my travels in the region.
