Plain language and health literacy series
WordRake invited me to contribute four articles about plain language and health literacy to their Guest Author Series, and the final article was posted today. Here are links to all four posts in case you’re interested:
- Part 1: Power Dynamics and Plain Language in Healthcare
- Part 2: Co-Creating Plain Language Health Information
- Part 3: Gained in Translation: Making Health Information Plain Across Languages
- Part 4: Plain Language Health Communication and the Myth of Universal Design
I want to thank WordRake for the opportunity! In addition to their editing software, WordRake offers a wealth of resources about writing in plain language from experts with a variety of professional backgrounds.
