Copy Editing

Your engineers are excellent at engineering, but not so hot at writing about it.

After all, everyone has different talents.

My talent is to understand what your proposal or presentation is supposed to say, and then to say it.

The result is usually shorter and clearer than you started with, with sentences more fluent and mistakes removed.

This is what 'Oxford Word Barber' is all about - taking long, tangled, shapeless documents, and trimming and styling them for maximum effect.

Coaching and Workshops

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he’ll feed himself tomorrow and the next day.

It makes sense in the long run.

And it applies equally to your staff if their job involves writing.

I can offer:

One to one coaching with a member of your staff for a 2-hour session. We’ll identify exactly what they need to work on to write or speak for their job, and improve it. Our ideal aproach uses a piece of work they've worked on recently.
