Perhaps nothing more is needed than a day to deeply research possible subjects, or to strategize on how several subjects might be interwoven to form a whole. Perhaps a project must be taken from initial conception through to publication or distribution. I have provided all that for over 20 years to businesses, non-profits, universities, arts groups, law firms, banks, television, magazines, publishers.
Writing and producing for public media, publishing, authors, and all seeking original content and design.
Design and strategy for sustained, engaging distribution.
Research and tracking of creative and business trends.
Conception.
Some need only some fresh artwork, photography, writing, or simply ideas and feedback to get started. From there, they race ahead.
Development.
Others already have their creative direction, the guiding ideas. But they need someone who can develop that idea with an eye to how others will receive it.
Distribution.
Perhaps all the creative work has been completed, but the finishing touches are needed to get it out into the world. This could be as simple as proofreading or production of content for a publisher or broadcaster.
