A sample report

Sample Report

An extract from a real report, with the writer’s details changed. The priorities come first, ranked in the order they should be fixed.

The first page of a story coverage report, cropped to the width of the sheet: the letterhead, then draft number, genre, format, setting and the next step, with the title and the writer’s name blacked out and a stamp reading “client copy, identifying details withheld”.

From a real report

The cover block — title and writer withheld

Every report opens the same way: what was read, when it was read, and the one thing to do next. On this copy the title and the writer’s name are the only details blacked out.

Read the full report — the priorities, the discussion, the scorecard, and the suggestions. Enter your email and it opens straight away.
