Full-time and Consultancy
I worked for the Saudi G20 in 2020 to help them establish clarity, accuracy and consistency in all editorial content. Besides hands-on editing and conferring with writers, I established a style guide and trained other editors on it to support professional communication. The overall goal was to enhance the message of the G20 and ensure it was presented consistently and effectively to a variety of audiences.
