Jonathan Woods is a business writer and strategic communications consultant specializing in complex writing and communications projects.

I help organizations turn complex ideas, technical information, and internal knowledge into clear, persuasive strategies, proposals, policies, and communications.

That often means helping shape the thinking as well as the writing. That involves clarifying objectives, strengthening logic, developing frameworks, and building a compelling narrative. My work includes award-winning municipal strategies, major funding proposals, large-scale SOP and policy projects, and high-stakes communications assignments. Proposal work has helped secure more than $160 million in public funding for clients.

Services include:

• Municipal strategy development and writing

• Strategic narrative and messaging development

• Policy and SOP development

• Proposal and funding application writing

• Research, consultation, and stakeholder engagement

• Editing and restructuring of complex projects and documents

Subject-matter experience:

• Economic development

• Technology, research, and innovation

• Agritech and food systems

• Transportation and mobility

• Municipal enforcement and public safety

• Planning and community development

• Government funding and investment

How I work:

I work closely with subject-matter experts and project teams to clarify objectives, surface gaps, organize complex information, and strengthen the logic behind the final product.

The process is collaborative, structured, and designed to minimize the burden on internal teams.

I’m particularly useful when a project is important and complex, but not yet fully formed, or when multiple stakeholders need support reaching alignment. When the information is there but the structure, logic, or narrative still needs to be worked out, I help clients clarify the decisions, come to consensus, and move toward a compelling final product.
