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
What we have in place
  • We currently have a training brief on engaging parents in need of editing, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an accompanying powerpoint presentation, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to serve children throughout the state.

Training is our core product.
