American Red Cross
Manuals

 

We won't write down to people;
we write up.

 

Family Health Series

Ten manuals to accompany ten films on providing health care at home. Examples: Knowing About Medicine, Bathing and Personal Care of the Bed Patient

Writers and editors:
Shirley Sirota Rosenberg, Diane Maple

Tasks:
Consultation, writing, copyediting, proofreading

Our job

Write the manuals from a mass of information provided by the client. Instead of condescending to the audience—often people with no more than a junior high school education—SSR embedded sophisticated terms and concepts in the text in a way that makes the information respectful of and understandable to the reader.

The Red Cross was so pleased with the results that they launched the entire series—film and booklets—at a special screening at the Kennedy Center.
