I have worked as a writer, editor, and researcher for more than 20 years, and have created a wide variety of material—non-profit and government reports and communications material, journals and course materials, website content, newsletters, annual reports, assessment materials, textbooks, brochures, legal publications, grants and proposals, and promotional material.
I know how to write and edit for a wide variety of audiences, from academics and professionals to the general public, and am familiar with the principles of plain language editing and writing. My clients range from corporations, government agencies and ministries, hospitals, and non-profit organizations to museums and archives and trade unions. I am also a skilled layout artist, and have created everything from textbooks to annual reports to newsletters.
