Strategic content & AI for Change
Combining language, science and AI to elevate your impact.
Strategic content, design, writing, editing and AI support informed by decades of interdisciplinary experience helping changemakers turn ideas into language that works.
What we do
change hearts, minds and actions
Words for Change works with language at every level — from the fine detail of word structure to the broader strategy that shapes meaning in context.
Campaign design & language plans
Campaign design and language planning is a service for changemakers, agencies and organisations who want to move hearts, change minds and inspire action.
We work with you to design a tailored language plan for your campaign or initiative — a practical, evidence-based guide to language-driven behaviour change that aligns with your context, engages your audiences and drives the social or environmental outcomes you seek.

Applying the science of human communication to AI communication
Integrating AI with human insight, Words for Change creates prompts, frameworks and analysis tools that bring the science of human communication into the digital space. This work draws on decades of cross-sector writing and editing experience, combined with emerging techniques in computational linguistics, to help you uncover subtle motivational signals, frame your message effectively and scale your impact.
Structural & Copy Editing
Make the most of your hard work. Don’t let your message be lost on an audience distracted by errors and inconsistencies.
Words for Change edits books, PhD and Master’s theses, senior secondary and tertiary textbooks, journal articles, research reports, presentations, speeches and other communication products.
Editing is tailored to the format and purpose of the piece, whether that means developmental work to sharpen argument and structure, line and copy editing for clarity and tone, or final proofreading for publication or submission.
​
Combining descriptive linguistic insight with prescriptive editing accreditation, we pay particular attention to clarity, coherence and voice. Edits address structure and logical flow, paragraph and sentence level clarity, terminological consistency, citation and referencing conventions and the presentation of figures, tables and captions. The aim is always the same: preserve the author’s intent while making the writing more readable, persuasive and fit for its audience.
Writing
Clear, purposeful language that connects, explains and inspires.
​
Lost for words?
Words for Change partners with you to craft authentic, thoughtful messages that resonate and inspire real connection. Every word is chosen with care to reflect your purpose and speak directly to those you want to reach.
Whether it’s speeches, articles, reports, web pages or grant proposals, the writing is informed by deep experience across research, education and communication. Complex ideas become accessible stories, designed to engage diverse audiences and support meaningful change.
Why Words for Change?
Words for Change focuses on language as a practical tool for shaping thinking, deepening engagement and making change possible. We bring together deep experience in writing, editing and strategic communication with advanced AI capabilities. Every project is approached with care and curiosity balancing evidence, insight and clarity to ensure language connects, informs and inspires.
