How to Create Successful Council Documents
My writing and editing services
I work with council staff who have expertise in infrastructure, parks and environmental management.
My clients have a lot of responsibilities and don’t have time to complete all the reports, plans and strategies on their to-do list. My research, writing and editing services help them to progress their projects by delivering high quality documents on time, to support decision making and consultation processes.

Helping council staff to be successful
I have been providing writing and editing services for council staff since 2014. My clients are usually juggling multiple projects and have significant demands on their time, which makes it difficult for them to find extended, uninterrupted periods of time to write and edit complex documents. I work alongside my clients to understand the issues and options under consideration, and then return to my quiet home office to write documents on their behalf. My clear, concise writing style supports both decision-making and consultation processes.
