A scribe for the modern day

Modern Day Scribes LLC was founded in 2017 on a simple conviction: every document deserves a professional. The same discipline that produces a flawless federal security package can produce a business plan that wins funding — or a memorial program that gives a family peace.

Federal-grade rigor. 15+ years across DoD and federal agencies, including RMF leadership and cybersecurity documentation for U.S. Army organizations.

Doctorate-level research and writing. Ph.D.-led practice with deep experience in organizational communication and technical editing.

Heart for the community. From nonprofits and ministries to families in their hardest week, we treat every project as more than a transaction.

Confidential by default. Ghostwriting, security documentation, and sensitive business matters are handled with strict discretion.

“In every generation, someone has to write it down — the covenant, the contract, the story, the goodbye. We are the ones who write it down well.”
— Dr. Tomar Jackson, Founder

A straightforward process — built for busy teams.

Documentation projects move at the speed of SME availability. We keep the workflow clear so you always know what's next.

01
Step 1

Gap discovery

We meet with your team to understand scope, audit drivers, and where documentation is missing or outdated.

02
Step 2

SME intake

We request SMEs, prior documentation, and relevant materials so we can write accurately — without guesswork.

03
Step 3

Draft + traceability

Documents are built with clear structure, control-family alignment (when applicable), and reviewer-friendly formatting.

04
Step 4

1:1 QA review

We compare against applicable control families based on CIA requirements and deliver with a watermark for review.

05
Step 5

Knowledge transfer

We provide training and knowledge transfer sessions so your team can maintain and implement the documentation.

06
Step 6

Ongoing maintenance

Choose one-time delivery or ongoing updates to keep documentation current as systems and operations change.
