Writing and Editing
You’re ready to produce the best possible communication products for your organization.
I collaborate with you to create compelling, cohesive, clear words that speak your organization's language—and your audience's language.
Is this you?
Scenario 1
Your company or organization produces a gazillion publications regularly.
This includes training tools and educational resources; white papers; fact sheets, brochures, blogs, and newsletters; case studies; annual reports; policy papers; and the like.
Your problem:
You don’t have enough expert writers or editors in-house to do each one well and deliver it on time.
Your publications aren’t written in the consistent style or high quality you strive for.
Your team is already stretched thin doing their main jobs.
You're ready to stop taking a scattershot approach to writing your publications.
Scenario 2
You collaborate on documents involving so many partners and
committees—each with their own chains of command and agendas—and everyone wants their words to stay in the final product.
Your problem:
Your eyes glaze over reviewing the draft.
You can’t tell whether the content makes sense anymore or has conflicts.
What you do see is the writing styles are inconsistent and all the authors have different levels of writing skills.
It doesn’t read as one voice. That's what happens when there are too many cooks in the publication kitchen.
