Caryn Gootkin - copy editor - plain language practitioner - writer As a qualified lawyer with an academic background in, and flair for, languages, I provide a wide range of proofreading, copy editing, rewriting and copy writing services. As a lawyer, what distinguished me was my ability to draft documents and write letters and opinions in language accessible to both lawyers and laymen.The Consumer Protection Act requires organisations and individuals dealing with consumers to communicate in plain language and my unique combination of skills qualifies me to convert complicated texts into plain language.
