Bid and tender review
Your draft bid, tender or grant application edited for clarity, impact and fit with the criteria, with notes on what’s missing.

Business and charity writing
Clear, persuasive bids, tenders and business writing for small businesses and charities.
AI can check your grammar. It can’t tell you whether your case works, or whether a client or funder will care. I can.
Whether you’re bidding for a contract or a grant, writing a proposal or explaining what you do on your website, the hard part is making a busy reader care. I help small businesses and charities say what they do, why it matters and what they’ll deliver: simply, convincingly and in the format the reader expects.
I’m especially at home with technical, specialist or complex subjects that need to become a clear story.

No one can guarantee a contract or funding: decisions rest with the client or funder. What I can promise is writing that’s clear, well argued and answers the question asked.
Tell me what you're working on and your deadline. I'll reply within two working days with a suggested approach, timescale and fixed quote.
