How I can help you…

Editing – you’ve written a report, briefing, annual review, web material or magazine. But it lacks sparkle. Perhaps the language is over-complex and full of jargon; perhaps you’re worried about repetition and bringing out the most important aspects. Maybe you’re just plain bored of the whole thing and can’t see the wood for the trees. I’ll take your copy and make it shine. I’ll talk to you first about your priorities, the problems you’re having and what end result you’d like to see. Then I’ll get polishing.

Copywriting – there’s nothing worse than a blank piece of paper. I’ll take the stress away. Whether you’re want a bundle of old papers turned into a fact-sheet or engaging report, a series of telephone interviews converted into moving and hard-hitting case studies, or great (and SEO effective) copy for your website, I can help to make words work for your organisation. From the blank page onwards.

Proofreading – you’ve written your report and it’s about to go to press. But how can you be sure you’ve spotted every error? Are your spellings consistent (or even correct)? What about your use of speech marks or hyphens? And your page furniture: headlines, contents page, numberings – are they all working too? Save yourself the embarrassment and the cost of a reprint by getting me to look over your work in forensic detail, armed with my blue editing pen.

Consultancy – is your supporter magazine any good? Are your reports boring and inconsistent? Is your whole suite of publications, website and other communications working coherently? Is your written work achieving its aims and cost effective? Yes? Are you sure? Wouldn’t it be nice to bundle everything up into a package, send it to an expert and receive advice about your editorial communications from someone with a wealth of experience, with no internal axe to grind? I’ll write a detailed and impartial report on everything you send me, with concrete suggestions for improvement.
