Work

Specifically, I could:

  • Improve the readability of a document: from proof reading and fixing typos in a last draft to substantive editing, reorganizing and rewriting a first draft
  • Jazz up your text (off or on-line) and make it more fun to read
  • Enhance an important power point presentation: tighten text and ensure flow, include attractive titles and subheads
  • Write a fundraising proposal or pull together a concept paper
  • Conceptualize a campaign or social media strategy, or provide critical and constructive feedback on a developing strategy
  • Attend your conference or meeting and write a comprehensive report with a snappy executive summary
  • Craft a factsheet, brochure, media release and other promotional material
  • Adapt text to various media – for e.g. a report could be repackaged into a newsletter insert, blog entry, website content, excerpt for a fundraising letter
  • Conduct interviews with your E.D., people who benefit from your organization's work, volunteers or Board Members, to add human interest to your website, newsletter or blog
  • Write an evocative feature story about your project or issue, to use as part of your outreach materials
  • Write a story around your issue(s) with characters, plot, conflict and dialogue that could be put on-line with photos, made into a podcast play, comic book or photo novella. The story could be developed collaboratively with staff and stakeholders.
  • Develop a workshop for the issues you want to convey to the public. This could be delivered by a staff person, by me, or be co-facilitated.
  • Take care of communication needs that you wish you had the time and staff to get done. Sometimes these can be small but effective measures that need not cost much.
