Policy Paper: All in the Details

Client: American University of Iraq, Institute of Regional and International Studies

An Iraqi institute had completed a lengthy report with multiple authors, hundreds of footnotes, and an earnest message on the topic of displaced people. The client needed a comprehensive edit prior to a launch event for a range of government stakeholders. I edited for structure, clarity, word choice, flow, and consistent Arabic treatment. I formatted and verified citations, checked translation where appropriate, and recommended infographics to improve reader comprehension.

Below are some samples from that piece. (Full report available, along with another report in a quarterly series for which I was also contracted.)

  • Jennifer has worked with us on a number of reports, all of which require attention to a lot of terminology and references specific to our region of operation (the Middle East). I can say without hesitation that she has become an essential contributor to our work. She’s very rigorous and adjusts her approach according to the needs of the different foundations and funders that support our research. I’ve recommended her to other clients and they have also come away satisfied.
