CLEAR, readable writing is our passion.  Simplifying public language is our goal.

We believe a document is a powerful way to convey your important messages.  And the most effective documents reflect the readers' needs rather than the writer's.

Plain English People promotes the benefits of clear, readable writing in the professional workplace.  Our writers, editors and educators are dedicated to helping specialist businesses or organisations talk with their people.

We have experience in the public, private, non-profit and professional-services sectors.  We have a particular interest in finance, insurance, property and health.  We also care about the needs of second-language professionals.
 


"I was feeling my communication skills were not as effective as I wanted for my job. 
The main thing I have learned from working with Plain English People is how to 'keep it simple'.  Plain English writing is clear, concise, well-structured and appropriate to the reader.  Plain English makes it easy for people to communicate, not only locally but across different cultures and languages.  I feel I have made a very strong start, thanks to Plain English People."
