Authority & Founder

Services

Editorial work,
quietly crafted.

Every engagement is bespoke. We pair you with a senior writer and a strategist who treat your voice the way a couturier treats fabric — with patience, precision, and reverence for the original. No templates, no noise — just a body of work that makes you the obvious choice.

Questions

Answered
plainly.

Process, timelines, deliverables, and what it costs. If something isn't here, write to us — we answer every note ourselves.

How much time do I actually have to give?

+

Between one and three hours a month. Voice capture happens in short recorded conversations, and reviews are done by marking up a draft. If a service demanded more than that from a founder running a team of five, we wouldn't offer it.

How long before I see something published?

+

Ghostwriting delivers a first draft within ten business days. Newsletters ship a first issue within three weeks. Email courses take four to six weeks because the whole arc is written together. Positioning runs six weeks by design.

What exactly do I receive?

+

Finished, publish-ready work — not outlines or strategy decks you have to execute. Every engagement also leaves you with a voice guide and an editorial calendar you keep, whether or not you continue with us.

Will it actually sound like me?

+

That is the entire craft. We start with recorded interviews and a review of anything you've already written or said. The first draft is calibration; by the second, most founders stop being able to tell which sentences were theirs.

Do I need an existing audience?

+

No. Most of our founders start under a thousand subscribers. Our clients are experts in their field with little brand awareness — the work is designed to build the audience, not to assume one.

How is pricing structured?

+

Project work is a fixed fee agreed before we start. Ongoing work is a monthly retainer with a six-month minimum, invoiced monthly. No hourly billing, no surprise line items, no charges for revisions inside the agreed rounds.

What if I want to stop?

+

Retainers run on a six-month term and then continue month to month with thirty days' notice. Fixed-fee projects can be paused between phases. You keep everything delivered up to that point.

Who owns the writing?

+

You do, completely, on final payment. Your name goes on it. We never claim credit publicly and only reference work as a case study with written permission.

How do we begin?

+

Apply through the form. We read every application, and if there's a fit we reply within two business days with initial thoughts and a slot for a thirty-minute conversation. No deck, no pitch.
