The workshop
The same tools we use for bestsellers also work for brands and organisations, big or small: editing, narrative, tone of voice and plain good writing. This is professional development, taught by professional editors, for professionals of all kinds.
-
Find new ways to approach editing, narrative, brand voice and even technical writing to create strategic cut-through with comms and content of all kinds.
Develop a practical style guide to help you and your team stay on the same page (commas are important).
Close your laptop, pick up a pencil, engage your creativity and critical thinking, and embrace the weird and wonderful in a sea of sameness.
-
A half-day workshop, offered in-person at our Adelaide Arcade space, or we can come to you. (Get in touch to explore online options or a different format for your team-building day or conference.)
-
Private and public sector professionals, as well as marketing agencies and independent business owners – anyone who wants help with words.
The custom publication
Take your story from the internet into the actual hands of your community. Books and newspapers are like long-form business cards, but better. Print is back (or never left).
-
A tangible marketing tool that looks more beautiful than a shiny brochure, and has more to say than a sticker.
Counter content fatigue with offline storytelling to engage your clients and find new audiences.
Create a collectable monograph to mark a major event or milestone.
-
An old-school full-colour newspaper, hardback book, custom zine – we can help you land on the best fit for your project.
-
Businesses, organisations and creators who want to make something special, including galleries and museums.
The publishing talk
In this choose-your-own-adventure of how books get made, we’ll guide you through the publishing process – with fun facts for readers and hot tips for writers.
-
Learn the ins and outs of submissions, agents, printing and distribution – everything involved in turning a manuscript into a bestseller.
Discover what the editing and marketing process can look like for authors.
Find out why you maybe should judge a book by its cover.
-
An engaging one-hour (or more) presentation, with lots of time for questions.
-
Libraries, schools, book clubs, writers’ centres, groups and festivals – anywhere with interested readers and writers.
