This is where executive summaries (and wordsmiths who are masters at writing them) are beneficial. Everyone is busy - our clients, our editors and ourselves - so the ability to read, digest and understand on the fly is essential. Though there are plenty of subjects we can disagree on as a community - there is one constant truth for freelancers: there never seems to be enough time. An executive summary is a short recap of what is presented in lengthier reports but still includes all of the necessary facts, figures and content to help him or her make an informed decision.
