Writing and editing
Every document has a job to do, be it to inform, teach, or convince its readers. At JS Communication Consulting, it’s Jessica's business to make sure documents do their jobs. Jessica offers a variety of services to ensure clients’ goals are met.
Writing
Jessica works with researchers, physicians, and other experts to turn institutional knowledge into written content. She also independently researches and writes content. She tailors her solutions to meet each client’s needs. She writes:
- Press releases
- News and feature articles
- Annual reports
- Policy briefs
- And many other kinds of documents
Developmental editing
Clients sometimes approach Jessica before writing has begun on a project. Working with the writer or writers, she determines the client’s goals for the document. She figures out what information is most useful for the document and packages it effectively through a clear, logical structure. She coordinates responses for documents that require input from multiple authors and ensure documents have a unified look and feel.
Substantive editing
Clients often have an existing draft or a document they’ve been using for limited purposes. They know it’s not working, but don’t know why. Jessica identifies the big-picture problems and solves them. This may mean restructuring to give the document a clear focus, adding additional information, or rewriting sentences and paragraphs to make them clear.
Copyediting
Many documents are written by several authors who make different style choices. Some might uppercase the name of the project or use an acronym rather than the full name. Others might use different terms when referring to the same project or concept. The result is a document that appears disorganized and unprofessional. Jessica, often working with several trusted copyeditors on large projects, provides copyediting services to ensure sentence-level consistency throughout.
Document design
Documents look better when they’re professionally designed. Jessica partners with a skilled graphic designer to illustrate her work.
