About Jane Aylen

I’m a communications professional, writer and editor based in the Southern Highlands of NSW.

I collaborate with for-purpose organisations, associations and local businesses to create communication that's clear, inclusive and effective.

I tackle communication challenges with sound judgement born from experience, efficiency and an approach that's both friendly and professional.

The foundations

Make messaging that's clear, inclusive and trustworthy.

People are busy. Information overwhelm is real. Let's make it easy for your people to take up your offer.

Clear

People are busy. Information overwhelm is real. Let's make it easy for your people to take up your offer.

Inclusive

Why leave people out? Let's roll out the welcome mat for people who do things differently.

Trustworthy

Sorry not sorry, but some things never change: it's easier to trust someone who doesn't make mistakes and keeps their promises.

A practical approach

Let's make this easy.

Clients value me for being easy to work with, steady under pressure, and able to use good judgement without fuss.

Strong writing and editing are a given. I'll craft messages for your particular audience.
Accessibility is built-in. My clients value features like video captions, image descriptions, easy-to-read text, welcoming language and more.
Long-term arrangements make my heart sing and save you time. I like to get to know your organisation, your audience and your rhythm, so I can really deliver on what you need. That way, you don’t have to explain everything from scratch each time.
I won't say no to a quickie. Even for short projects, you'll own everything at the end. I won't sign off without handing over all your IP and all your passwords.

I’m based in the Southern Highlands and work happily with local and remote clients - whichever platforms you like best.

My job is to make your life easier.

01 / PUBLICATIONS

Create your publication

Let’s start with your vision and get the job done. Then, I'll step out the publication process for you and take care of all the project management, from start to finish: plan the content, write or edit your articles, manage photographers and designers, get all the approvals, proofread the layout and publish to digital or print.

02 / CONTENT

Write your content

With your audience in mind and your voice intact, I write content that works for you and your people - from big-picture messaging down to the microtext in your calls to action. Ask me about magazine articles and blog posts, social media posts and profiles, speeches, press releases, real estate copy, in-house policies, processes and procedures, strategies and stakeholder communications.

03 / EDITING

Edit your words

AI has changed everything… mostly. It’s excellent for fixing spelling and grammar, and even churning out some of your work. But it still takes time and you really need to know what your audience needs. Even when you’re using AI tools, you need to make sure your words hit all the right notes. To resonate with the people you want to reach, call in a real person so you keep sounding like you.

04 / PROJECTS

Plan and manage a project

Got a project that keeps slipping down the to-do list? I get it. I can help you scope it, plan it, step it out and get it done - with clear responsibilities and realistic timelines.

05 / CAMPAIGNS

Promote your event or run a campaign

You’ve got the idea and you’re excited to plan it. Let’s team up to make sure the right people hear about it and get involved. You book the venue and the caterer. I’ll get people in the door.

06 / SOCIAL MEDIA

Plan your social media content (and make it happen)

Lots of small businesses have a love/hate relationship with social media. It can be fun. It can also be one more thing to do after a busy day on your core business. I can help you build a realistic, sustainable content plan - from the bare minimum to show potential customers you’re still around through to coordinating photographers or videographers to make the most of your hard work. And, if you like, we can work together to implement that plan.

Experience in action

Check out my work.

I’ve worked across member associations and not-for-profit organisations, government and universities, small to medium businesses and agencies. My goal is always to make messaging easier - for you and your audience. Here’s a small selection of what I’ve been working on lately.
