Corbin and Associates Writing and Consulting specializes in helping you produce clean, crisp, well-organized, and easy to read documents – and you get it fast.

We provide exceptional writing, editing, research and analysis services to organizations and individuals in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors .  Whether we edit existing copy or create it anew, we produce documents written in clear, jargon-free language with eye-appealing layout.

What’s more, we do it quickly. What takes some writers weeks takes us days, and same-day turnaround is not unusual. We crunch numbers, graph it, and write it up in clear, precise English.

Proposals and Bids

The best company doesn’t always win in competitive bids— but the best proposal usually does. An investment in your competitive bidding capabilities could make the difference for you.

 

Having been on both sides of the RFP process—as the government decision-maker and as a competitive bidder— we know the game. We know what evaluators look for, and we can help you structure your proposal to best represent your capabilities.

 

The key is to make it easy for the decision-maker to identify exactly how you can help them succeed. Working with you, we help you craft your response around the specific criteria upon which the bid will be evaluated to make it easy for the decision-maker to identify your firm’s qualifications.

 

Bid proposals for clients are proprietary, so we unfortunately we can’t show you examples of those. Contact us to discuss how to make your confidential response work for you.

Business Plans and Reports

Few organizations can keep a technical writing staff on board year-round, but it doesn’t mean you don’t need technical documents written for your business. We can help you get it done well without pulling your staff from performing their key business functions. Here are some examples of our work for others:

· Oregon Department of Transportation - Road User Fee Program - 2007 Report to the Legislature

· City of Portland Office of Transportation 2004 Annual Report

· US National Response Center Business Plan

Research

Sometimes you just need something figured out – and quickly— but you don’t have the resources in-house to get it done. We can help. Here are some examples of our work:

· Halton, Ontario - Asset Management Best Practices

· A study of the advisability of transferring ownership of the Willamette River Bridges from Multnomah County to the City of Portland (see the excerpt here)

· The feasibility of implementing Leaf Removal Fees (2002) in Portland

· Ph.D. dissertation, “Agenda-setting and Acid Rain,” Indiana University Press, 1988
