Plain English - For Writers and Editors
Our society needs clear and simple writing. You know it; we know it. The U.S. government is on the cusp of legislating clear and simple language for all federal documents. With all the information we absorb in a day, we need content to be streamlined.
Idea-Mine can help edit and re-write your documents and reports so they will be easily understood.
For writers, we offer personal assistance to improve your clarity and style.
Are you unpublished and yearn to see a byline?� We can help with marketing suggestions, sample query letters and updates on freelance writing trends.
For editors and executives who need to communicate business information in plain English, we provide thoughtful rewrites that remove the jargon and convey the facts.
