What is plain language?
A communication is in plain language if its wording, structure, and design are so clear that the intended audience can easily find what they need, understand what they find, and use that information. Source: International Plain Language Federation
I use plain language principles as the foundation of all of my writing and editing, because everyone benefits when information is clear and accessible.
I am trained in Plain Language through Simon Fraser University’s Plain Language Certificate and am a Member of the Plain Language Association International (PLAIN).
