Editing
We edit your documents using plain language principles, focusing on content and organization (structural editing) and clarity and conciseness (stylistic editing).
Writing or rewriting
We write or rewrite material to engage your intended readers with well-organized, clear, concise, and usable content.

Plain language assessment
We assess one or more of your documents against plain language standards, identify areas for improvement, and help you use more plain language in your department or organization.
Reader analysis and evaluation
We help you identify your intended readers and understand what they need from your documents to achieve a specific purpose. We also help you evaluate your documents to ensure they’re meeting readers’ needs.
