Where Clarity Matters

 


Is a writing or editing project weighing on your mind?

Let me lighten the load!

In addition to lightening the load, my writing and editing services help my clients look good. This gives them confidence, which is essential to attracting and retaining business and increasing the bottom line.

After clarifying the scope and details of a writing or editing project, I produce written materials that are factually accurate and easy to understand, and that reflect a professional use of grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation.

Over the past thirty years, my clients have ranged from individuals and small businesses to major corporations. I also serve non-profit organizations and government offices.

The projects I have completed include

  • web content
  • articles, business proposals, reports
  • books, user guides, procedures
  • letters, informational handouts, and flyers.

The Basics

I begin each writing project by following three rules: Use Short Words, Keep It Simple, and Be Clear. For details, see Tips.

For every piece of writing, whether I or a client wrote it, I ask:

  • Is it accurate?
  • Is it complete?
  • Is it too complex—or, too basic?
  • Is information easy to find?
  • Does it need an index, illustrations, tables?

I also check for these musts:

  • Each paragraph sticks to one point.
  • There's no unnecessary repetition.
  • There are no run-on sentences.
