writing & editing

The alt62 editorial business is built on productive and long-lasting relationships with a small range of clients.

For the British Red Cross, in the early days that meant launching and editing a print education magazine – Reducation. With it came a series of topic-based discussion triggers, called Crosscurrents. Over the years the materials naturally moved away from print, and were rethought and designed for online use, and even for delivery through smart phones. Currently we write the fortnightly email newsthink, widely praised and with many thousands of appreciative subscribers. Lesson plans, quizzes, teacher briefings and more are collected on the British Red Cross Education website. Most have been written by PJ White.

The project youthmoney led to a fruitful partnership with the Financial Services Authority. We worked with Citizens Advice on a financial capability guide and wrote the content for Young People and Money, a magazine for youth workers which appeared with Children and Young People Now magazine. The Citizenship Foundation recently hired us to write a schools-based learning resource on handling finances. The Consumer Financial Education Body,  now the Money Advice Service, contracted us to write booklets on embedding financial capability in various youth-related sectors.

There are still plenty of quick guides and feature articles carrying PJ White’s byline – archived at the websites of Children and Young People Now, New Statesman, and elsewhere.

Other clients over the years have included Crimestoppers, the National Youth Agency, Save the Children, ECPAT, Christian Aid, and Deafblind UK.
