Hank has co-authored a report with a bunch of colleagues. Perhaps you do this, too?
Hank is pretty confident in his writing style. But…
- Veronica is verbose
- Amelia is abrupt
- Harry from HR writes a mass of jargon and acronyms.
It’s all too clear that several people have written the report; it lacks consistency and a clear voice.
Hank wants it to be a whole lot better, but he has two problems:
- He’s flat chat.
- He feels very awkward editing his colleagues’ writing.
Fortunately that’s where Hit Send can help. We edit multi-authored reports all the time. We are often asked to:
- make sure there is one voice and a clear message
- ensure consistency (usage, spelling, company terms)
- ‘adjudicate’.
Yes, our clients report that it is much easier for them if we ‘adjudicate’ on style and grammar. It’s easier for everyone to accept the outcomes.
