When you’re choosing a copywriter to work on an annual report, it’s important you get the decision right.
As a minimum, you want someone who is comfortable interviewing senior decision-makers; who is organised and deadline-focused; and who is intelligent and diligent enough to understand how your organisation works.
But you also need a copywriter who can apply clear editorial focus from the first page to the last.
It’s this extra clarity that sets me apart from other writers – and makes me a good choice for your annual report copywriting.
If you commission me to write your annual report, I’ll follow a clear process. This helps me write a report that keeps your strategy in sharp focus.
The process involves:
• Background planning.
• Creating a synopsis and theme.
• Writing and revising. Working to an agreed timetable, I’ll supply copy for each section, and supply revisions as appropriate.
• Proofreading. I can help you with last-minute checks, and can proofread any sections written by others. This will help you avoid errors or inaccuracies that may have been missed.
Last-minute sign-offs are a fact of life with large editorial projects. But by commissioning a copywriter who uses a clear process, you’re in better shape to minimise late changes and avoid deadline-day confusion.
