Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
Additional details

We are not very good at selling ourselves. And in addition, English is not our mother tongue. We have 10 pages of copy for a glossy project report that should highlight how despite all the difficulties we experienced due to the pandemic we still managed to deliver on the project. We have a skeleton text, which is quite boring and sometimes repetitive, and it needs to be more convincing in the sense of how we conquered all obstacles and in the end did the project.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a skeleton text, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have additional reports to provide additional insight, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to invest more in working with the communities and saving more animals.

We are working a lot in the field, and are not very good at showing how we manage to work with communities and educate about conservation. A well-edited text that is selling this part of our work will help us in saving mangroves, and the species that live in it. In addition, we will be able to convince more people how important working with communities is and to do basic research and teach the community members about this. This will help our conservation and education goals.
