ArcticLlama Samples
Here are some samples from our freelance writing portfolio.
We encourage you to judge our work (and others) based on how well it meets the objectives. We tailor each and every project to the specific needs of the client. Some work is formal, and some is informal. If a sample sounds too light or too serious for what you have in mind, remember that your completed project will take on the tone you requested.

This site is written exclusively by ArcticLlama staff.
Government Writing - Content For Web
Contract Wizard
We wrote this contract wizard (Word document with macros) for a single department within the state government. It's major claim to fame was that instead of requiring people who only do contracts once per year to get the right codes in the right fields, it provides drop down boxes and other ways of offering only correct choices. Error rates plummeted. When it comes to getting details and technicalities just right, ArcticLlama has it down pat.
Since we wrote and turned over the contract
wizard it has been adopted by several other departments across the state.

was written by ArcticLlama staff.
