Everything you might want to know before you commission
A commission is a quiet, guided process — a conversation, a draft, one considered revision, and a piece of writing that is yours. This page gathers the how, the what, the how-much and the questions people usually ask, in one place.
The process
Every commission follows the same unhurried path, whatever the form. You bring the memory and the meaning; the language is our work.
Pricing & timelines
What things cost, what is included, and how long each kind of writing takes — set out plainly, with no obligation to proceed.
Confidentiality & ownership
Private commissions remain private by default. You own the finished writing. How that works, in practice:
What we write
Five kinds of commission, each with its own page explaining what it is, who it is for and how it takes shape.
Guides from the desk
Longer reading for when you want to understand a form before you commission it, or brief us well.
Questions
The things people most often ask before they begin — language, gifts, privacy, revisions and more.
When you're ready, it begins with a conversation.
