Communicating to Your Audience on Your Behalf

I become your voice to speak to your audience. How I speak to them depends on the intended effect of your message.

To perform tasks and achieve goals, your audience needs guidance:

  • instructions
  • how-to guides
  • quickstart guides

To access and recall information, your audience needs detail:

  • quick reference guides
  • specifications
  • release notes

To make informed decisions, your audience needs explanation:

  • reports
  • executive summaries
  • proposals

These are a just few examples of documentation types best suited to audience and purpose. Working closely with you, I will develop an approach that meets your specific audience and documentation needs.

Accurate, Organized, Simple, and Effective Messaging

Through new or revised content, I translate your specialized subject matter into formats that best suit your project and its audience.

Developing Accurate Content

I develop accurate content based on research and on interviews with you or other subject matter experts (SMEs).

Organizing Complex Information

I organize complex information so that your audience can find what they need when they need it.

Simplifying Detailed Concepts

With clear and concise phrasing, I simplify concepts to an appropriate level of detail for your technical or non-technical audiences.

Leveraging Effective Language and Formats

I carefully choose and deploy effective language and formats for reaching, informing, and enabling your audience.
