Writing services
Your words, sharp.
Formatting, original copy, outreach tests, retainers, coaching, and ghostwriting — flat-rate tiers from the 2026 business plan. First Sharp Edge is free for new clients ($120 value).
Document formatting (one-off)
When the bones are there and the page still has to look like you hired someone.

|---|
| Pro Polish | $50 | 24 hours | Quick cleanup and clean PDF formatting |
| Sharp Edge | $120 (FREE first) | 3–5 days | Custom layout, mini brand kit, style guide |
| Forge | $180 | 5–7 days | Sharp Edge + graphics, charts, data visuals |

| 6–10 pages | $250 | Long-form, reports, scripts |
| + Forge it | +$100 | Bake into brand kit — headers, logo treatment, colors |
Outreach — copy, test, readout
Two versions of the same outreach. You send both (or we do). A short readout says what won and what to send next. Not ad-account management. Not a ranking promise. First Sharp Edge is still a one-sheet — outreach is a campaign, and it's paid.
| Package | Price | What you get |
|---|
| Outreach pair | $180 | Two cuts of one asset: email, one-pager, or landing blurb. Same job, two versions. You send, or we send from your list. |
| Campaign kit | $350 | The pair, plus subject lines, CTA, and a one-page brief: who it is for and what “won” means. |
| Monthly Outreach | $400/month | Two tests a month. Copy in your voice. A short readout: sent, replies or form submits, winner, next challenger. Time-limited (3 or 6 months). |
