Blurring the Binary provides writing, editing, and content-development services for organizations, publications, business, and educational institutions. With experience penning research, educational and advocational articles, and technical documentation, we create content that is informed, engaging, accessible, and crafted for its intended audience.
We are available to write articles, essays, blog posts, organizational content, and other public-facing materials. Our experience includes freelance writing for arts and education publications as well as scholarly and practitioner-oriented work on music, gender, LGBTQ+ communities, education, policy, and social change. Projects may range from original commissioned pieces to research-informed content developed around an organization's goals and audience.
Clear information is only useful when people can understand and apply it. We develop user guides, instructional manuals, learning materials, toolkits, training resources, and other documents that make processes and complex subjects easier to navigate.
Services can include organizing existing information, developing content from the ground up, translating specialized knowledge for a broader audiences, and creating written materials to accompany workshops, programs, or digital media.
Research and policy information can be difficult to communicate beyond specialist audiences. We help organizations synthesize evidence, identify the most important takeaways, and transform complex material into accessible resources without sacrificing accuracy or nuance.
Existing content sometimes needs another set of outside eyes. We offer developmental and substantive editing focused on structure, clarity, grammar, organization, tone, accessibility, and audience alignment. Additionally, we can review materials for accuracy, consistency, inclusive language, and responsible representation of transgender and LGBTQ+ communities.
Whether you need an original article, an instructional guide, a research-informed resource, or help strengthening something already written, we can polish your content to communicate with stakeholders clearly and serve its intended purpose.
