US:  Write.  Edit.  proof.  format.   
You:  Sigh.  relax.  Drink tea.  hug your dog.

Let us help you with that gnarly project. We've been known to break out the white board at dinner parties to explain the Oxford Comma. We live for that moment of linguistic bliss that flits into existence between the crisp lines of a printed page. We step in at any stage of the writing and publishing process, helping you to ideate, research, plan, draft, write, edit, format, proof, edit again, edit yet another time, and/or prepare for publication. Our love for the written word has never found its ceiling, and we take on projects big and small, critical and silly, from the heady tome to the greeting card. Read on for services, pricing, and details.

ACADEMIC PAPERS & Chapters

Once you've extracted ideas from your head and gotten them down onto the page, let us take over. We can help you adhere to any editing standard, format your footnotes and citations, and coax your technical syntax into something that flows and engages your readers. You've done the hard part -- now let us take over the fiddly details while you sleep for 36 hours straight. We can also consult and coach you through tough spots where the ideas are there but the words won't flow. Prices are per page or per project, varying with the amount of editing needed. Generally I will edit a representative sample (2 pages) of your document first to get a feel for what is needed and to make sure our styles match before giving a firm quote.

Get your blog posts, website copy, articles, and papers in good, solid shape with our drafting, editing, and formatting help. We can assist with beefing up SEO language, writing marketing copy, and with the "translation" from technical or business writing to engaging, audience-capturing writing. If you have an idea that you want to flesh out, we can help. If you want to post weekly blogs to draw visitors to your site, but don't know what to write, we can help. If you need a professional set of eyes to look over your website to find typos or unclear sections, we can help. If you need a manual, tutorial, or presentation written, we can help. Get in touch to see how we can work together to move your business forward.

So you're writing a book! And perhaps you need a little help. Maybe you've birthed the thing whole, and it needs some shaping, sculpting, and caressing by a new set of hands. Maybe you've written a few hundred words, and the rest is stuck in your head, wondering how to escape. Maybe you're huddled in a soggy pile on the floor, wondering how you'll ever continue. Never fear! We have your back. Let us help you get that book, story, poem, or other masterpiece ready for public consumption. Wherever you are, we will meet you there. Get in touch for a chat and a quote.
NOVELTY AND FUN
Need a little song and dance?
A card so cute she’ll drop her pants?
A scavenger hunt to win them all?
A roast to make the mighty fall?

Or maybe there’s a child so sweet --
a face that nearly makes you weep!
What better way to show you care
than a custom book of children’s fare?

Whatever need you have for verse,
once you've tried and cried and cursed,
send your thoughts and deadlines too,
and I’ll pump out some lines for you.
