Our Services
The Radically Hopeful approach creates a clear, bold, and positive plan that takes you from where you currently are to a place where your work can genuinely stand out - creating radical reach for you and your partners.
Everyday Publishing
Publishing mentoring and consultation using the SLANT framework to unlock what matters most to you and your partners.
Have you started your project, but don’t have a clear path forward for communicating your findings? Are you deciding how to publish your work, but looking for a better match solution? Do you want to develop an aspect of your work in a different medium or ignite a new idea? Need some extra capacity to complete your dream project?
We don't work from a place of fixing what's broken. We work from the belief that you already have everything you need—we just need to help it emerge and find its right expression in the world.
Now, that’s radical hope in action!
Radically Hopeful
Partnering
Radically Hopeful publishing strategies aren’t just about the end product - ours is an approach for publishing in community that brings important ideas into the world and connects them with the people who need them most.
We start by partnering with you to understand your true vision and the transformational impact you're called to create. Then we map realistic strategies that align with your project’s mission, building on your existing brilliance rather than trying to fit what you want to do into imperfect systems.
This approach means we weave radical hope into partnering with you so that you can create a clear, hopeful path from where you are to where your work needs to be.
If you can imagine it, we can find a publishing solution for it!
We also do behind-the-scenes publishing tasks for you so you can enjoy more hours of each day. If you need help with editing, pitching, polishing, or promoting your work, we offer affordable hourly rates.
