Team Collaboration
If you’re a communications strategist, editor, or proposal manager, here’s how I can support your team:
- Design, structure and formatting of technical documents so they are easy to read and evaluate.
- Word templating, multilevel numbering, TOCs, styles, formatting—finicky details no one likes doing.
- Diagrams, tables, and infographics that clarify complex content and align with your brand.
- Ensuring compliance with client style guides and strict bid requirements.
- Sanity checks: confirming all legal and regulatory requirements are met.
- Creating print-ready outputs that are accurate, consistent, and elegant.
- Preparing textbooks or research publications for print-on-demand via Amazon or IngramSpark.
Expertise in Bids, Tenders and RFPs
I know how to hit every checkbox, format requirement, and submission rule – on time.
- I structure and suggest content for RFPs/RFQs, so it’s easy for your team to identify the right vendor (and harder for vendors to mislead or evade using AI).
- I create proposals that meet complex requirements, and use persuasive, plain-English content tailored to decision-makers and evaluators.
- I’ve worked on public tenders, engineering and technology bids, research and charitable grants and environmental compliance reporting.
Access to a trusted network
Need more than just me?
I collaborate with trusted professionals in technical editing, graphic design, typesetting, video scripting and production, plain English accessibility audits, proofreading and more.
I can help you pull together a team for your project, or I can fit in as a reliable extra pair of hands.
This is exactly how I improve technical documentation
Communication Design and Formatting
- Easy-to-navigate templates in Word and PowerPoint.
- Headers, footers, sections, styles, and TOCs.
- Standardize fonts, headers, captions, figures and numbering.
- Convert dense text into engaging visuals: diagrams, graphs, charts.
- Create figures, diagrams, and charts using built-in MS Office tools, or pre-programmed QuickParts.
- Clickable checklists (Word), fillable forms (PDF)
- Layouts that are easy to scan with pop-open sections, blockquotes and sidebars.
- Full alignment with your house style or brand guidelines.
Technical Writing
- Compelling executive summaries.
- Merge inputs from multiple contributors.
- Simplify content into clear, plain English (Grade 6 reading level).
- Cut word count without losing substance.
- Get rid of jargon and ambiguities, and monitor for AI as well as inclusive, respectful language.
Technical Publishing: print, eBook, and online
I work with research, guides, manuals, SOPs, policies, training, and technical content.
- Print-on-Demand (Paperback or Hardcover) with Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or private printers. Documentation delivered door-to-door anywhere in the world.
- eBook formats suitable for tablets, phones, and eReaders. Private distribution, or distributed via “user-pays” public book stores.
- Technical Websites: private member document portal or public learning hub.
Whether you’re preparing a government tender or translating complex research into public-friendly info, I help teams produce documents that are accurate, compliant, easy to update and a pleasure to read.
