Writing that welcomes
Your words are the gateway to services that improve lives. That’s a big and beautiful responsibility.
We work with people like you – people doing big things – to match your words to what you really do.
Does your website reflect your important work? Do your reports truly show people the positive changes you make?
It all comes down to putting the right words in the right order so your audience can get what they need.
It’s all about keeping it neat.
Professional writer. Natural helper.

Neat Copy’s creator Danika Davis is educated and experienced in the art of polishing up dense, difficult text, and fleshing out high-level thought bubbles.
She started Neat Copy when she saw a need for businesses and government to write in a tidy way – an easy-to-read way.
She’s all about dynamite words that are still very you, while being simple to access, follow and take in.
As a local small business, her community is important to her, and she’s big on connecting with people. When you work with Neat Copy, you get Danika’s personal and professional service.
Whatever stage you’re at, she’ll make it a positive experience.
“Danika is a brilliant communications consultant. She has a unique ability to take complex government policy language and simplify it into short, sharp and meaningful public facing documents and web copy. It's a pleasure to work with someone who is responsive, flexible and never misses a deadline.”
– Steven Speldewinde, Director @ The Social Deck
