I am a professional member of the Institute of Professional Editors and work with plain English. I have a wealth of experience in editing, web content, technical writing, typesetting and more. Reach out if I can help you make your words pull their weight so that they make your work shine.
Communication strategy
I prepare communication strategies that outline what, when, how and where to communicate.
A communication strategy is working when the right people hear the right message at the right time through the right channels.
Create, edit and proofread
I apply plain English to all communications
As a Professional Member of the Institute of Professional Editors, I am up to date with current editing principles.
I create internal and external communications from your ideas, edit your words to make the most important words shine and proofread for inconsistencies or bloopers.
Web content
I curate intranet and/or internet web content logically with a user focus and SEO principles
I have created websites, written (intranet and internet) web content, performed structural edits to web pages, analysed sites and redesigned the web architecture of websites for over fifteen years.
My approach is to create effective information architecture and efficient content management processes enabling your site visitors to find your offerings save time and money.
My site report highlights the strengths and weaknesses of your site’s content, structure and compliance with standards. A structural edit presents your content in the most coherent and usable form.
Technical writing
I translate complex concepts and language into useful documentation while managing stakeholder expectation
Technical documents include instruction manuals, guides, journal articles or other kinds of supporting documentation. They show people how to use products or explain complex concepts in a digestible way.
I work with stakeholders to gather information and interpret it for the target audience while complying with standards and regulations.
Typesetting
I typeset content for print or PDF
I work in InDesign to create your content for print or PDF.
Job seekers
Resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profiles
I run a critic eye over your resume, cover or LinkedIn profile to ensure you are putting your best foot forward when you are ready to change jobs.
LinkedIn is a critic part of job seeking as it allows you to connect with work colleagues and to have your work recommended. This provides a prospective employer a sense of assurance of who you are and who you are connected to.
