Document Construction

Document Formatting

Consistent document formatting needs a keen eye for detail. I can create professional but attractive reports, proposals, manuals, guides or textbooks to suit your needs. This can include:

• Consistent formatting and correct navigation, including a clickable Tables of Contents and accurate cross referencing
• Custom Microsoft Word styles
• Colour schemes to match your brand

Graphic Element Design

Visual communication gets the message across quickly and effectively. Public-facing documents truly benefit from graphic design to impress your current and future customers and/or stakeholders.

• Cover design
• Full page interior graphic design
• Infographics
• Graphical headers and footers

Editing

Proofreading

If you have a finished document and need it checked for simple errors before printing, proofreading is best for you. This service is designed to correct:

• Spelling
• Punctuation
• Basic grammar
• Typological errors
• Layout errors (if your document is ready for printing)

Copy Editing

Copy editing is designed to improve draft writing that is not yet ready to print. As well as correcting many of the errors covered by my proofreading service, I will also improve:

• Word choice
• Passive voice
• Tone
• Wordy or redundant sentences
• Gendered language

Writing

Report and Business Writing

With years of experience writing reports about heritage surveys, social and emotional wellbeing, mental health and the outcomes of a wide variety of community consultations, I can help you to construct reports that are in-depth, logical, fully referenced and informative.

Transcription

Audio Transcription

Increase access to information within audio and video recordings through transcription. Written copies of business meetings, interviews, lectures, podcasts or oral histories are easier to refer back to and can be made searchable.

Choose from summarised but in-depth minutes or a full word-for-word transcription to best suit your needs and budget.
