The Real Article: Telling your story

Writing, editing & proofreading services

Since 2007, The Real Article has been providing expert writing, editing, and proofreading services for organisations around New Zealand.


What we do

Writing:

Our specialty is turning organisational and technical language into digestible, plain English language. The Real Article puts creative flair into documents to promote your organisation and services.

Editing:

You may have written something already, but it’s not quite hitting the spot with your clients, or is failing to get your message across. The Real Article will review what you have written and modify the materials to suit your needs and objectives. With a simple tweak you will find your publications get the response you were after.

Proofreading:

There’s nothing worse than discovering your new, professionally designed document has a ‘typo’ in it. The Real Article can provide fresh eyes to look over your document – finding misspelt words, errant apostrophes and inconsistent line spacing.

In-house support:

In addition to providing freelance support remotely, The Real Article’s writer-in-residence can also work in-house with your team providing day-to-day communications support and resources to your organisation.


Who we are

The Real Article is the brainchild and creative outlet for Waikato-based communications consultant Kirsten Rose. With more than 20 years’ experience in the industry, Kirsten has provided writing, editing, and proofreading services for a range of public and private sector companies across myriad industries including agriculture, environmental management, energy, film, recorded music, manufacturing, healthcare, science, ICT, and education; and has won international awards for integrated reporting.

In addition to running The Real Article and corralling her busy family, Kirsten also provides pro-bono communications support for Long Covid Support Aotearoa and Equipotential.

From time to time The Real Article contracts other writers, editors, proofreaders, designers, printers, communications consultants, information, communication and technology (ICT) professionals and advertising managers whose experiences and expertise add to The Real Article’s mix of services.

What this means for you is that with The Real Article you not only have a writer/editor/proofreader on hand, but you have access to a network of professionals to take your story further.
