Consulting: English Language Writing Services
I provide English language writing assistance in the areas of business, marketing, sales, technical and copy editing. A common thread across most writing activities is being able to communicate in concise and simple to understand ways. The need for good written documentation spans industries and disciplines. From business plan writing, sales collateral, technical writing to email campaigns – the quality of the written documentation often plays a huge role in determining the effectiveness of the activity. In business terms, complete and well written documentation directly translates to profitability.
Technical writing is a integral part of most projects I work on. This includes technology companies producing internal technical documentation, user manuals, release notes, white papers, and sales literature. Most of this work requires not only proper writing skills but also the engineering expertise to understand the subject material.
Copy editing is the task of taking existing draft documents and improving them for the purpose of eventual publication. It generally does not result in any material changes in content, but focuses on formatting, style, language use, and grammar. This is extremely important for documents that undergo translation by someone not intimately familiar with the subject material or whose language skills are not native. Examples are website content, product manuals, sales literature, and email correspondence.
The type and nature of my writing is dependent on the target audience. Much of my work involves helping technology companies communicate their visions in easy to use language to larger and sometimes non-technical audiences. I handle most projects myself, but can bring in partners to fill specialized needs such as custom graphics work.
