Writing, Editing & Proofreading Services by Jayne Cravens
I can help organizations, particularly nonprofits, to prepare written materials, for print or online publication, or for live presentation, to reach a wide-variety of constiuencies. I am particularly adept at taking highly-technical, jargon-filled text and making such more understandable, accessible and practical for a general audience.
I have proven:
- writing and editing skills
- high standards of accuracy and consistency
- ability to maintain faithfulness to the spirit, style and nuances of original text
- ability to find and use appropriate references and conduct necessary research
- high level of versatility, judgement and discretion
- facilitating and negotiating skills
- abilities regarding defining workplans and priorities, and planning and monitoring the work of others
- sensitivity and respect for diversity
- abilities to gain the trust and cooperation of others in a team endeavour through the demonstration of recognized technical competence, respect for original spirit of text, and respect for other's deadlines
My writing, editing and proofreading services include:
- Editing funding proposals, annual reports, brochure text, newsletters, and other documents and publications, to ensure readability and correct grammar usage.
- Editing online, text-based presentations, to ensure clarity, brevity and a high-level of engagement.
- Revising initial English translations, to ensure smooth, understandable, accessible text.
- Editing speeches or podcasts, to ensure text is easy to say and will be understood by the audience that hears it, as well as by those who will read the speech later.
- Taking phrases, concepts and ideas generated through brain-storming sessions and creating cohesive, accessible text.
- Advise and assist translators in text preparation.
- Preparing or editing terminological glossaries and related reference tools.
Fees are done on a project-bases. For rates, please send your project proposal as an attachment via email, or contact me to set up a phone conference. References are available upon request.
