I would like to note the quality of the work which I have seen from PublicSpace for the website. It is prompt, clear and thoughtful.”

Text
Text, both online and in print, is a primary mode of wider communication or dissemination. Text can also support video with introductory information and further resources.
PublicSpace brings extensive experience in writing and editing academic and professional documents for a specialist or wider readership. We can also bring experience and social science expertise to writing documents for stakeholder engagement, consultation and surveys.
We can help to ensure a document is functional, focussed and trialled for the intended audience. The function might be, for example, to provide an accessible introduction, or communicate key concepts and findings, or link the research with examples of use, and/or provide the kinds of resources and reference materials that are needed for the research to be used in practice and in training or professional development.

(Note. We do not offer a separate ‘proof-reading’ service. We write, edit and co-produce texts as part of the collaborative work of communicating research; our focus is on what may need to be communicated, why, to whom and how.)
