Copyediting
Your organization’s good work on the ground has to be represented well in writing: funding proposals, case statements, website content, social media posts. My expertise in editing documents for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style provides an eagle eye on your written work before it goes out into the world.
Formatting & Templates
A document’s impact often lies in its organization. Is your work laid out in a way that people can easily read and digest it? For this, formatting is key. I will work with your content to ensure readability, flow, and accessibility, with special attention to alignment, headings, fonts, spacing, and navigation.
I can turn frequently used formats - slide decks, board reports, job descriptions, etc. - into easy to use templates for you and your staff to return to so that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
Style Guides
You can recite your mission and vision from memory. What about your written style? The consistency of your communication style is critically important to your organizational identity but is usually much less front of mind.
A style guide is a dictionary of commonly used words, phrases, and tone, customized for your organization’s usage. I work with your team to compile and craft your style guides with an ear for cultural sensitivity and equity, to ensure that your communication is consistent, intentional, and aligned with your mission.
Writing
Sometimes you need to start from scratch, and whether it’s a blog post, a big announcement, or a new policy, someone needs to write it! I can help put your thoughts into words, tailored to your audience and vision.
