Clear texts are easier to translate, easier to trust and harder to hide behind. I help organizations and individuals write them, in English or French.

How I can help

Strategic writing courses

Learn to plan before you write, then find your own style and voice. For groups or individuals. Off-the-shelf or tailored to your organization.

Plain language training

Based on the international plain language standard, ISO 24495. Three formats: an introduction for your team, a half-day workshop or a full course with assignments and feedback.

Tailored courses

Including one-to-one coaching on your own documents. Online or in person. In English or French. Every course covers how to use AI without letting it do your thinking.

Questions

Before you get in touch

How much does a course cost?
icon

I price every course after our first conversation. The price depends on the format, the length and how much I tailor it to your organization. Off-the-shelf courses cost less than tailored ones.

Is the first call free?
icon

Yes. The first call is free and there is no obligation. It is a conversation about your texts and your readers, not a sales pitch.

What happens on the first call?
icon

You tell me what is not working. I ask about your readers, your texts and your goals. If I can help, I suggest a format. If I can’t, I’ll say so.

How long is a course?
icon

It depends on what you need. Courses run from a short introduction for your team to a full course with assignments and feedback. We agree the length before we start.

Do you train non-native writers?
icon

Yes. For 25 years I have trained native and non-native writers. I speak French fluently, so I can spot the patterns French speakers carry into English.

Are my texts kept confidential?
icon

Yes. We agree how I access and use your documents before we start. In training, I only use anonymized examples.

Do you work with individuals?
icon

Yes. You can take a course on your own. Tailored courses include one-to-one coaching on your own documents.

Do you edit documents?
icon

Sometimes, usually alongside training. My aim is to help you write clearly yourself, so you need me less over time.
