Advice on key documents
Much of our work is ‘at the coal face’, on key documents such as a prospectus, marketing literature for publication, or a scripted speech. We help to construct these from scratch alongside the key authors. We can also take a draft and advise on improvements to it.
The value of our input is to improve clarity, brevity, readibility, elegance, and where needed, its persuasiveness.
Our work may take us deep into arguments used and evidence in support, but it can also take us into punctuation, spelling, grammar, syllable count, sentence length and construction and the English language itself.
We are advocates of plain English!
Which is easier to understand?
Either: I exited the northerly aspect of my domestic residence and attempted to initiate the internal combustion engine on my motor vehicle. Or: I went out the front door and tried to start the car. The first has many polysyllabics, the latter only monosyllabics – 12 syllables in 12 words.
