MEETING YOUR NEEDS FOR BUSINESS WRITING: REPORTS, BROCHURES, WHITE PAPER PROPOSALS

I’m able to write, advise on or edit your reports and brochures and give classes on producing these documents for your staff. During my career, I’ve produced reports for local authorities e.g on governor training for Leicestershire and Lincolnshire), evidence submissions to bodies such as the National Commission on Education and the Commonwealth Foundation and produced marketing materials for organisations such as the International Institute for Education Leadership at Lincoln University. Get in touch to discuss your specific needs. Fees by negotiation.

Magazine Journalism

I’m able to provide master classes and mentee writing for those aiming at publishing short articles. I’m published in Times Higher, The Caravan Club Magazine, Times Educational Supplement, Management in Education,
Professional Development Today, Quality and Learning, Principal Matters, International Directions in Education, Local Economy Quarterly The Educational Administrator, (Australia), Child Education, School Governor and Teaching History.

You can read a sample of my style here – and it’s guidance for you on getting published.

MENTEE WRITING
This is a new, education service for individuals. Send me your drafts for academic, professional and general magazine and journal articles or theses. I will then advise you on how to improve them. This is much more than an editing service. I will explain suggested amendments to you and organise a structured and individualised learning programme to improve your own skills.

My aim is to make you an independent writer.
I have researched and written about mentoring in school management and have been a mentor in my own work. As a professor, I have advised students on improving their writing. Fees by negotiation.

WRITING AND PRESENTING RESEARCH (London: Sage, 2006. ISBN 1-419-0293-2 ).
Buy the book from Amazon here.

Professor Thody’s latest book guides you through the choices for reporting research in social sciences (including health), arts and humanities but the book also has relevance to, and examples from, natural and applied sciences and law. It’s the first comprehensive guide to all forms of research writing - theses and dissertations, chapters, books, reports and articles in academic, professional or general media such as newspapers – and the options for presenting research orally as lectures, keynotes, conference papers and even TV game shows.

All these formats have well established conventions. All of them also have growing numbers of alternatives. These have generated debate about what is, or is not acceptable. The book helps you to assess which of the conventional or alternative possibilities is most effective for your research. Following this contents overview, read selected extracts here.

For the more sophisticated tourist who’s grown out of rough travel.

Enjoy following these guides. Let me know if they work for you. Commission me to write one for your home town or other favoured spot.
