About

Illumination Services, LLC is a small woman-owned company focused on the intersection of language and art with the business world.

All publications—be they marketing slicks, websites, or proposals—reflect the personality and values of the organization producing them. Our job is to ensure our clients’ publications are clearly written, free of typographical errors, and presented in a professional and attractive manner. Specific services include:

Copy Writing – We write clear, concise, and compelling material that engages the audience while conveying complex ideas in a comprehensible manner.

Copy Editing – We have extensive experience editing technical documentation and proposals to enforce consistent style and “voice” throughout the document.

Design & Illustration – We provide hand-drawn and/or digital illustrations that illuminate subject matter and engage the viewers or readers.

Desktop Publishing – We provide expert support with the Microsoft Office suite of applications to ensure documents are formatted and paginated cleanly and consistently.

Proposal Management – We provide comprehensive “soup-to-nuts” proposal management to ensure our clients’ proposals are compliant and on time. Specific tasks include:
  • Receiving and "shredding" the RFP to produce an outline for a compliant response (including updating as Q&A and amendments are released); 
  • Developing response templates; 
  • Writing, collecting, and editing questions to send back to the Government; 
  • Running kickoff meetings and color reviews, and consolidating/adjudicating reviewer feedback to return back to authors; 
  • Coordinating with subcontractors participating in the proposal response; 
  • Writing non-technical sections (resumes, past performance, etc.) and assisting technical authors write their sections as necessary; 
  • Providing editorial support to enforce corporate style and ensure consistent voice; and 
  • Handling final desktop publishing and hardcopy production where required. 

We are available to provide on-call or temporary support onsite in the DC Metropolitan area or remotely around the country.
