Government work
Government projects make up about 80% of my work.
My 10 years in government comms means I understand the sensitivities of government messages and how they need to be written.
I know the writing style guide inside out and run government writing training too.
I help NT and federal agencies with proofreading, plain English editing and writing.

NT Department of the Chief Minister, June 2017, December 2017 and March 2018

Government annual reports
Over the last 10 years, I've copy edited or proofread annual reports for 12 NT and federal agencies, from 20 pages to 400. My brief usually includes:
- proofreading content to correct spelling and grammatical errors
- editing content into plain English
- removing waffle and making the report clear and concise
- making the 'voice' and tone consistent (given the many contributors)
- ensuring content meets NT and Australian Government writing guidelines
- making sure everything is consistent.
