Half begins the project, half is due at handoff. Every package includes the voice interview, a shared doc with margin notes, and the first proof on a date we name in writing.

the single page

working day four to first proof

  • One page, up to 650 words
  • One 30-minute voice interview, recorded with your OK
  • Two rounds of edits

the lantern sequence

  • Five launch emails, each with three subject lines and a preheader
  • Send order and timing notes
  • One 40-minute call about the offer, and two rounds of edits

the one we’d start with

the voice guide

about twelve working days, call to handoff

Fourteen pages on how you sound: the words you keep, the ones you retire, and twelve before-and-after rewrites drawn from your own pages, so you can hear the difference in your own mouth.

  • A 14-page guide with twelve rewrites from your real copy
  • A one-page cheat sheet for anyone who writes as you
  • Two rounds of edits

small extras, and what we leave alone

Add these to any package. Priced like the rest: one number, in writing, before work starts.

we don’t do

Design, layout, scheduling or sending. We write; your designer or email platform sets the rest. Copy arrives with margin notes on where a line wants room to breathe.

can I mix a package with an add-on later?

Yes. Add-ons can be invoiced any time before handoff, and the original fee stays exactly where it was.

what if I only need a few lines fixed?

Ring the studio on a weekday. If it’s a paragraph rather than a page, we’ll tell you honestly whether to pay for it.

who owns the words afterwards?

You do, once the handoff invoice is paid. The files arrive in a shared doc, clean and ready for your designer.

Not sure which weight fits? Talking beats typing. Ring the studio on a weekday and we’ll tell you honestly which one to skip.
