What you get

You receive our detailed comments on the same schedule as your internal review, so that you can apply the suggestions right away.

This feedback helps most if you are

• A team facing a chaotic project and crazy schedule, so no one has had a chance to review the content, as a whole, for coherence, clarity, and impact
• A team exploring a new approach, such as object-oriented content, or Web-based support systems
• A project leader looking for a solution to an internal debate on the team
• A solo writer on a project, with no other writers to turn to for support

The nitty-gritty

We know you need details--comments you can act on. So we go through every page, noting the trivial typos as we go, but focusing on larger issues.

We act as a stand-in for your readers.

And we tell you when we get confused, discouraged, angry, or just plain bored.

Then we give you concrete suggestions for change--action items you can carry out, new tables of contents, new paragraphs.

When we don't know enough to give you a complete revision, we ask you the questions we think users would have, so you can grab a subject matter expert, and get the answers.

Writer to writer

Our report is not some official evaluation: we are writers talking to other writers. We aim to be useful.

And we go beyond the usual editorial queries by making lots of practical suggestions. Based on more than 20 years in writing and editing, our report should help you improve your current content, and point the way to faster writing in the future.

When your writers understand and adopt the tactics we suggest, they work faster, and get more done.  Clean writing is hard work, but it's a lot more efficient than trying to rewrite a confusing mess.

Together we can develop a delivery schedule, agree on tools, and settle on an estimated cost based on number of pages or screens, and complexity of your subject matter.
