Writing services for councils
I help busy council staff to create high quality documents
You joined your council to make a difference. But that’s hard to do if you’re always on the run – too busy to think clearly and at risk of being overwhelmed by all the documents you need to complete.
I provide writing and editing services to help you to deliver your projects on time. Then, if you are still too busy, you can use my process improvement service to free up time for your most valuable tasks.
Summary of services
Writing
I write documents that are both accurate and easy to understand.
Services include:
- Writing council documents (including reports, plans and policies)
- Writing content for councils to support your consultation processes (including consultation documents, website copy and social media posts).
Editing
I offer added-value editing for councils because I understand the types of documents you need to produce, your target audience, and the legislative context for your work.
Process improvements
I offer a structured process to improve your programme or service, and to free up your time for your most valuable tasks. I will:
- map your current process
- identify alternative options
- help you to decide on the best approach for your council.
