Since November, I’ve been all over Google Maps copy-editing Food Security Outlooks, Weather Hazards Reports and the like for FEWS NET, the branch of USAID that delivers data on new and emerging food crises to decision-makers and everyday people. Places of interest include Haiti, Yemen, and Malawi.
My mission? Making over jargon-ridden reports, striving for Plain English. Or at least the best I can do before deadline.
