Testimonials

Caroline, Senior Scientist

Written Progress guided us in identifying the key products in terms of communications, scientific papers, and speaking events that we could capitalize from the work, the key messages, and the specific target audiences.

In a scale of 1 to 10, I wish there was a 10.5 in terms of the likelihood of recommending Written Progress… we have already recommended them and they are supporting other team members in CIAT.

Within three days we had very exciting outputs…the team has mapped out several research publications that we are working with Written Progress to put together.

Our work wouldn’t have been possible without the Written Progress team on our side. I particularly enjoyed the structured process the team suggested in order to carry out the work in a limited timeframe.

Andreea, Research Team Lead

Kenneth, Economist

We really wanted an expert, somebody who could guide the team to be able to package and communicate better in their manuscripts and increase the chances of publication…
We were able look at the manuscripts and clearly see the areas where we were not communicating well, so it was really very useful.

Sometimes I need you to write things where I don’t have the words. Sometimes what you write helps me find the words I need but couldn’t find.

Todd, Lead Scientist

It has become apparent that I completely underestimate my time and overestimate my interest and skill set. I can do basic editing, but the level of detail that Written Progress does is WAY beyond anything I would do.
