Writing and research

Want to untie yourself from a big writing job?

It's often cheaper, quicker, less hassle and better for quality to partner with an experienced writer, easily outsourcing the writing to the experts. That way, you save time and effort and add maximum value to your professionalism and expertise.
 
Save time, money and stress by engaging Get it Write! to: 
  • plan the structure, content and images to expertly convey your messages 
  • locate, organise and synthesise important information 
  • write quality text, for all audiences, in all styles and for all types of publications 
  • craft messages that maximise the power, impact and effectiveness of your ideas 
  • partner with your specialists and experts so they contribute their knowledge of the subject matter as we contribute the writing skills 
  • rewrite drafts from one or more authors in a uniform style. 
 
We write speeches, articles, manuals, annual reports, training resources, learning guides, websites, promotional material, expressions of interest and requests for tender … and anything else that requires quality writing. We write for all audiences, in all styles and for all types of publications. 
 
We rewrite drafts in correct, readable English. We rescue content experts who are too close to their topic, who struggle to explain it to a broader audience, and who are too busy or simply not confident to bring their content to the highest standard.
 
Research planning, methodology & reporting
 
Good writing needs a solid factual basis. We have extensive experience conducting focused, quality research for major texts and for policy and program development. Our research is also used for campaigns, conference presentations, speeches and training manuals. 
 
We clearly identify what you want from the research: its purpose and the important questions to answer. We develop an initial, intelligent prediction of an answer for each question, to be challenged and investigated by the research. Then we draft a report contents outline. That's all in the planning stage. 
 
This 3-step up-front process prevents vague, open-ended inquiry by starting with a clear framework: of questions the research will address; of initial hypothetical answers for each question; and of a draft report structure. This high-level project specification gives you good control over the direction of your research. 
 
Our experience spans: 
  • literature reviews 
  • environment scans
  • summarising  public consultations and submission processes 
  • focus groups and individual in-depth interviews 
  • print and online surveys and questionnaires. 
 
We design research tools to integrate with the final reporting. We know how each research question will contribute to the final report, so we collect the minimum of irrelevant and repetitious information. This means lower costs, shorter timelines and better productivity - so you to get more for your research dollar. 
 
We write research reports that are easy to read and easy to use. Our reports are layered - from the top-layer overview to in-depth findings - using: 
  • PowerPoint presentations of key findings 
  • executive summaries of findings and recommendations 
  • full tables of contents and figures 
  • graphs, charts and figures.
