Additional Services
Sensitivity Review
Using thoughtful language makes writing clear, professional, and compassionate. It also helps reduce stigma and improves understanding, especially in health communication.
Careful word choices help avoid stereotypes, assumptions, and biased language. They make writing more inclusive by respecting differences in age, appearance, ethnicity, race, nationality, gender, health, disability, and more.
Language is always evolving, and I keep up with it. I can help by identifying areas or words that might not set the tone you want.
Plain Language Review
Let's bust the myth that plain language "dumbs down" information. In reality, plain language means writing for your audience—whether they’re experts or everyday people making health decisions.
Medical literacy varies. Some readers may have limited education or English proficiency, while others might struggle with complex medical terms.
Using plain language makes information easier to understand, ensuring that everyone can access important details.
I can help you apply this approach to your writing. I focus on your future readers and identify words, abbreviations, or medical terms that might be confusing.
