Technical
writing is tedious — and tough. It's tough for you to get
down to the writing and, often, tougher still for the reader to
get through the finished product. Let's face it: This stuff is
dull. And it's very difficult to avoid overwhelming the reader
with excessive detail.
IGS works with a simple maxim in mind: It is not sufficient that
our readers may understand what we write. Our writing must be
of such clarity that they cannot not understand what we
write.
IGS can provide professional writing for a variety of intended
publications, be they policy documents, statistical reports, web
copy or even works of fiction. A number of citation styles can
be used, per the client's wishes, and American, British or Canadian
spelling and syntax can be employed, depending on the proposed
readership.
Or if you are working on a budget, you may wish to write the
report yourself and have IGS edit it. This is a matter for serious
consideration, for professional editing is more important than
many people realize.
A badly written book or report will stand out a mile — a
mile in the wrong direction. But a professional editor can bring
a much needed critical eye to the work before it is released.
It's not just a matter of looking for typos or correcting grammar.
It's an issue of getting right to the chase: Does the report sufficiently
explain the basics before getting mired in details (a common problem)?
Is the work appropriately structured; that is, does it progress
from introduction to body to conclusion? Is the report's style
correctly pitched for the intended audience? Does it inadvertently
plagiarize other people's work? Are reference citations correctly
and consistently provided?
Whether you wish your report drafted for you or just reviewed
by us, IGS can ensure a professional publication you'll be proud
of.
