About
Dynamix, a co-operative based in Swansea, approached Writing Services with a large project and a tight deadline. The work involved copy-editing a suite of training handbooks for the Welsh Trainers and Consultants Consortium. The work was supported by Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA).
Having worked with Anita and Dyfan in the past (see below), Dynamix approached us to see if we could turn our copy editing skills to five training documents on the subject of ‘Employment Support’. The training was aimed at staff of various ‘tackling poverty’ programmes led by Welsh Government including Communities First, Prosperous Communities, LIFT, as well as Jobs Growth Wales.
How I helped
The challenge was to edit 45,000 words in a week, at less than a week’s notice, and we delivered the work on time and on budget.
