We're able to communicate with ANYONE
-- equally comfortable with
complex technical dissertations
or plain-language writing
for the average non-technical consumer,
and have earned a reputation for very comprehensible teaching
for the novice. We know how to make things clear,
and realize the importance of doing so.
We have excellent research resources, at our disposal,
including our own 1,000+-volume library, with hundreds of books,
magazines, manuals, brochures, reports and other documents -- in business, economics, history, politics, government, law, science, technology and communications.
In addition, we have ready access to two vast collections of research documents: at the Wichita Public Library, and the archives of Wichita State University (with a huge federal repository of archived and current government documents), as well as several specialty libraries in the Wichita area.
And, of course, there are the infinite resources of telephone and Internet
-- both of which we are exceptionally proficient in using for deep, fast research.
With our knowledge and professional experience in communications we can do much of the pre-press work for you (from proofreading, to design, to final proofs) in consultation with you -- unburdening your production schedule, accelerating the availability of the product, and possibly even reducing its development cost.
