Project Type: Plain language

I provide writing with an emphasis on accessibility, clarity, and engagement for medical and health-focused organizations and non-profits working on complex social justice issues. If you’d like to contract me to write for your organization, you might want to check out my plain language website, bleedingheartcommunications.com, or just email me at bleedingheartcommunications@gmail.com

New Voices

I was the editor of a magazine written by internationally-trained journalists, for most of whom English is a second language.

Here’s one issue of New Voices.
