Lisa MacColl, MA Freelance Writer and Editor Let me put words in your mouth.
I have been working with K-W Musical Productions to revamp their constitution and by-laws and drag them out of the dark ages where a telegraph was an acceptable means of communication, and into the 21st century. Here's what the Director of Policy and Procedures, Bradley Barbour-Brown, had to say:
Testimonial by Bradley Barbour-Brown, Director of Policy & Procedure, K-W Musical Productions
Brilliant, expeditious, exact, effervescent and affable are just a few words to describe plain language extraordinaire, Lisa MacColl.The prospect of translating our corporate charter into plain language was frightening.Old English to plain language translation is not one of my strengths; however, I was lucky to have found Lisa somehow.While Lisa worked on translating the charter, I was able to concentrate on policy and procedure development.Lisa was also an integral part of the policy development process as well since I would seek her advice and expertise on early drafts.I have found all of her advice to be constructive, educated and exactly what I needed.Thank you Lisa!
"Lisa did an excellent job researching and writing a large portion of the official chapter handbook for the Professional Writers Association of Canada (PWAC). I was very pleased with her work, which required a minimum of editing. I am proud to count her as one of the main contributors to this project."
-Nate Hendley, Ontario Regional Director for PWAC, and editor of the PWAC chapter handbook nhendley@sympatico.ca
Sherry Hinman is a freelance technical editor, who hired me to work with her on a project this summer to re-write a first aid manual:
This past summer, I had the pleasure of working with Lisa, who helped me with the writing of the Emergency Medical Responder manual for the publisher of the American Red Cross. Lisa is a highly skilled writer who had excellent experience in both health and technical writing - just what I was looking for. She delivered consistently high quality writing, appropriate to the readership, and on a tight schedule. I was impressed with her professional manner and her skill as a writer and would hire her again without hesitation.” December 10, 2008
