Need to create easy-to-read and plain language
written materials, but not sure how? |
The Clear Language Group (CLG) provides writing services
on a variety of health and non-health topics. We are
skilled writers who communicate clearly, persuasively,
and effectively. We can write materials for audiences
with a wide range of reading abilities. Our creative
plain language approach will give you results.
Developing Materials
CLG members write original text on diverse topics
such as chronic disease prevention and treatment, nutrition,
maternal and child health, environmental topics, mental
health, managed care, and more. We tailor our writing
to your specific needs.
Revising Materials
We take cumbersome, confusing, jargon-filled text
and rewrite it as clear, easy-to-understand information.
For example:
|
We can rewrite an informed consent
document that reads at college level
and produce a document accessible to many more
patients |
| |
|
|
We can rewrite complex research reports so
that the information is accessible to the general
public |
| |
|
|
We can transform a standard consumer brochure
into an engaging, easy-to-read piece for limited-literacy
readers |
Reviewing Materials
For organizations that want to do their writing in-house,
we offer analysis of print documents using research-based
evaluation criteria. We can provide a quick analysis
with a few suggestions or a comprehensive report. See
also Readability Analysis.
Editing
Many companies want a plain language editorial review
as part of their materials development process. We
provide editorial services to ensure that your material
is written in plain language to reach the broadest
possible audience.
Web-based Writing
Plain language is especially important for web-based
communications, which are used in a hurry by busy people.
All CLG writing and editing services are available
for the web as well as print. CLG members are experienced
at working with Web site developers. We know how to
capture attention, get to the point fast, and avoid
endless scrolling and clicks.
