West Egg Ltd

Our services include writing, rewriting, media relations, editorial management, copy editing, proofreading, training, and advice on content and structure of websites and reports.

We have experience in all written media, from large reports to tiny brochures, from media releases to websites to speeches and corporate videos.

And we've written for just about any audience you can think of.

In particular, we have experience in...

Plans and reports: The reports we've worked on have helped our clients to win awards, get media coverage, inform people, and change opinions.

Websites: We write and edit web content, and advise on structuring content to meet users' needs.

Consultation documents: Consultation begins with clear communication. We write and edit consultation documents, and summarise submissions and meetings to inform decisions and action.

Media: In our past lives as senior journalists, we used to decide what went in the papers. Now we can help with individual media releases and overall strategies.

Plain English legal guides: We've written and contributed to several books in Thompson Brooker's Businesswise legal series, as well as plain English codes of ethics.

Training: We provide writing training for small or large groups.

Subject expertise

We don't specialise in any particular subject areas. However, through our work for regular clients we've built up experience in writing about sustainability issues, children's reading, business and trade, international relations, consumer issues, arts and culture, social issues, building, and plain English legal guides.
