White paper writer

A white paper is a persuasive, authoritative, in-depth report on a specific topic that presents a problem and provides a solution.

Marketers, for example, create white papers to educate their clients or audience about a particular issue, or explain and promote a particular methodology. 

Our professional process for determining what you need written, and undertaking the writing, involves:

• Initial briefing;
• Further research;
• Drafting and submission of the first draft;
• Evaluation and integration of up to two sets of revisions; and
• Submission of the final draft.

Arrow Green

Do you love your garden, but don’t have a clue what’s growing in it?

We can help!

• We visit your property then write a report that identifies native and exotic plants, and what should stay or go.
• We suggest alternative plants to fill spaces and treatments for any plants that are diseased or affected by pests.
• We devise an ongoing maintenance schedule.
• We have 30 years experience working for landscape architects, architects and ecologists.

In addition to teaching landscape design at a tertiary level, Catriona worked as a horticulturalist in plant nurseries for over ten years and now regularly write for garden journals such as Garden Drum, so she knows her plants!

E-book Writer

We can research, structure, draft and edit e-book text for you. An E-books is a fantastic way to deliver in depth information about your business, give you credibility and deliver readership.  

Ghostwriter 

Ghostwriters are hired to write fiction or non-fiction in the style of an existing author, often as a way of increasing the number of books that can be published by that author. We can also assist with writing a book for you, if you feel you are way out of your depth. Let us help you shoulder the burden of releasing the ‘book in you’!!

The process for determining what you need to be written, and undertaking the writing is:

• Initial briefing by phone, email, Skype or face-to-face, if appropriate;
• Additional research, if needed;
• Writing and submission of the first draft;
• Further discussion/s;
• Evaluation and integration of up to two sets of revisions – usually one is enough;
• Submission of the final draft.

Developmental editor

A developmental editor guides an author in conceiving the topic, planning the overall structure, and developing an outline, and supports the author in their writing, chapter by chapter. 

Developmental editors offer specific suggestions about the core intentions and goals of the book, the underlying premise, the polish, narrative voice, pacing, style, language; that is, the literary art and key arguments of the book.

Developmental editors do not correct spelling and grammar, or compile the index. These are the jobs of a copy-editor/proofreader and indexer, who work much later in the writing/publishing process. We also provide these services, if required.

Irrespective of when the developmental editor is brought into a writing project, the author retains control over the document and is responsible for providing the content.

• Conservation Management Plans;
• Advice to and support of groups involved in Natural Heritage Trust and other community-based projects, with a landscape or garden focus, or in collaboration with a Heritage Architect;
• Planting and landscape maintenance reports;
• Horticultural assessment — removal and replacement of species; and
• Site interpretation and value studies.

• Editing scientific reports;

Blog + Website Writer

We love blog and content writing!  Before we start to write, we strive to understand you and your audience:

• What do they want to know about?
• What will resonate with them?

Our aim is to generate content that elevates you from blogging about generic stuff to the targeted content your audience really wants (and needs) to hear.

Why blogging is vital for a growing  business:

• Without regular and up-to-date blogging, your SEO will nose-dive.
• A well-written blog means staying in touch with a niche market and demonstrating what you know.
• A regularly updated blog can generate interest all around the world.
• Publishing in-depth blog posts help potential clients and customers solve their problems, and they come to trust and respect you as an expert in the field.
• Blogging is a great way to get instant feedback on an idea that you want to develop further.
• Over time, as you share more of your expertise, your website will change from ‘just another blog’ into a powerful demonstration of your knowledge in a field, and a key way of expanding your network.
