Frequently asked questions

Q.

What kind of projects do you take on?

+

Books, articles, brand and cover design, and websites for new and small businesses. If you're not sure your project is "ready," send it anyway. That's what the first read is for.

Q.

How long does a project take?

+

It depends on scope. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the first read, rather than a generic promise upfront, whether that's a manuscript edit or a full website build.

Q.

Do you handle the whole process, or just one piece of it?

+

You can come to us for a single service, like a proofread or a landing page, or the full path from first draft through design, development, and launch support.

Q.

How do we start?

+

Send us a sample, a brief, or a link to what's already live. We'll look it over, be honest about fit, and outline next steps from there.

Q.

What if I've never done this before and don't feel "ready"?

+

That's most of who we work with. You don't need a polished draft, a finished brand, or any credentials, just something you're curious to get honest eyes on.

Q.

Do you work with small businesses on websites too?

+

Yes. Beyond books, we build websites and handle digital marketing support for small businesses and individuals on a project basis. Send details and we'll confirm fit.

How we think about the work

A few things we hold onto on every project

None of this is complicated. It's the same handful of ideas we come back to whether we're proofreading a poem or shipping a homepage, the kind of thing you'd scribble in a margin, not a mission statement.

A rough draft isn't a problem to fix. It's a promise to keep.

Good notes tell you what's not working. Great notes tell you why.

We'd rather say no to a project than say yes and disappear.

Have something sitting in a folder somewhere?

Send it over. We'll take a proper look and tell you what we honestly think, before you commit to anything.
