Services
Three sessions, each set for a specific gap
Each session is stand-alone. Book one, or work through all three over time — whichever matches where you are.
Format: One 90-minute session · Written workflow document + checklist
Publication Workflow Consultation
A session for reporters whose publishing process has grown haphazard. We map every step from finished draft to published piece, identify where things currently stall, and rebuild the sequence so each stage has a clear end point. Covers final checks, image preparation, scheduling and the record you keep of what was published when. Suitable for individuals and pairs publishing regularly.
What's Included
- ■ Full mapping of your current process, stage by stage
- ■ A written workflow document you can hand to a collaborator
- ■ A pre-publication checklist tailored to your setup

Headline and Standfirst Review
Focused attention on the parts of a piece most readers see and most writers rush. We look at whether a headline states what the article actually establishes, whether the standfirst adds information or repeats it, and how to write both without overstating the case. Includes discussion of how headlines behave when shared out of context.
What's Included
- ■ Review across a set of your published and unpublished pieces
- ■ Written alternatives offered for comparison, not replacement
- ■ Notes on how headlines read once shared outside their original context

What's Included
