Copywriting

Perhaps you know how to make wind farms invisible to radar and you want the world to know.

Or maybe you’re a national weather service, and you want to devise a message for the fashion industry.

Or you could just want to tell the nation’s installers of air conditioning that yours are the only units that comply with new legislation.

Whatever you want to say, and whatever the medium you use to say it, we can help.

Standard rate: £350 per day, or £50 per hour

Editing and Proof Reading

Your engineers are excellent at engineering, but not so hot at writing about it.

After all, everyone has different talents.

Our talent is to understand what your proposal or presentation is supposed to say, and then to say it.

The result is usually shorter and clearer than you started with, with sentences more fluent and mistakes removed.

This is what the Oxford Word Salon is all about - taking long, tangled, shapeless documents, and trimming and styling them for maximum effect.

Standard rate: £245 - £350 per day, or £35 - £50 per hour

Coaching and Workshops

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he’ll feed himself tomorrow and the next day.

It makes sense in the long run.

And it applies equally to your staff if their job involves writing.

We can offer:

One to one coaching with a member of your staff for a 2-hour session. We’ll identify exactly what they need to work on to write or speak for their job, and improve it. Our ideal aproach uses a piece of work they've worked on recently.

Standard rate: £97 per 2-hour session

Small group sessions - 1-hour or half-day workshops for your staff, looking at the principles of communication as they apply for their job. Includes directed preparation based on a discussion with you.

Standard rate: £197 or £397

“Are you talking to me?” - an intriguing insight into the way different people respond to the way you speak or write, and the different ways you could speak or write to them.

Standard rate: £347 for a 2-hour workshop
