Frequently asked questions
Who owns the finished document?
You do. Work we write or edit for you is yours to publish under your own name, unless we agree otherwise.
Can you work from our raw notes?
Yes. Send us whatever you have, such as notes, interview summaries, existing reports and tables, and we will turn it into a finished document.
How do you price writing and translation?
By the length and complexity of the document and the deadline. Send us the document or a description and we will quote a fixed price.
How much does a project cost?
Every project is priced on its scope, so we quote each one individually. Tell us what you need and we will send a written proposal with a fixed price or a clear budget. The proposal is free and there is no obligation.
