Writing & Editing

 
Picture this: Your staff has done a great job developing a lot of excellent substantive information, but your readers may have trouble understanding it.  Your report is due soon, and you need a quick rewrite that emphasizes the main points and retains the substance, but is easily read and understood.
 
We can help you communicate your message clearly, concisely, and effectively to your target audience.  We have years of experience writing and editing content for virtually any type of document, ranging from reports and testimony to newsletters, pamphlets, and websites.
 
We are skilled at presenting complex or technical material in a way that can easily be understood by non-technical audiences. 
 
We can convey your message at elementary to graduate school reading levels.
 
We apply plain writing principles, including:
  • effective use of headings
  • active voice
  • deductive writing
  • topic sentences in paragraphs
  • unified and coherent paragraphs
  • eliminating redundancies
  • keeping prepositions to a minimum
  • writing shorter sentences
  • using shorter words, and of course...
  • correct grammar
