Engage. Explain. Persuade. Make the world a better place.

Editing

I edit to improve language, message, structure and style. I’ve been a professional editor for 40 years.

I take on editing projects for a wide range of agencies, particularly in the development field (education, energy, climate, health and economic development).

I will help you to:

• present information clearly and concisely
• choose language and tone appropriate for your audiences and goals
• guide readers logically through your explanations and arguments
• provide signposts for readers with different needs and speeds
• show readers clearly what actions we are recommending
