Writing and editing
Why use twenty words when ten will do just fine?
I am an experienced writer of articles, press releases, brochures, web content and speeches. I can work from a variety of source material including client supplied documents, technical content, original research or interviews. I have also edited complex manuals and large reports of sustainability studies.
I'll always go into bat for the use of plain English.
