Writing

I specialize in plain English, and simplifying difficult text.

Better writing is the most affordable usability improvement you can bring to your product or service. – Jeffrey Zeldman, “The Daily Report”

For the Government of British Columbia, I wrote a guide to using e-mail effectively, plus a wide range of marketing, client communications and employee communications materials for delivery on the Web, by-e-mail and in print.
