Legal and technical writing
Legislation, contracts and other legal information still follows the writing style of the 18th century, relying on overly long sentences, Latin-ish jargon, and phrases that no longer serve us well. The language that speeds technical experts through their work excludes everyone outside the field. I can help you create documents that save you and your clients and stakeholders time and money. Alternatively, I can teach you or your staff to do that work.
government and organizations
Governments and boards work hard to create better communities. But they often overestimate the reading skill and motivation of their readers and others they work with. Governance and policy documents, backgrounders and other communication tools tell vital stories. I create information to keep citizens, experts and decision-makers informed and engaged. I can also edit or teach you to write for your readers.
