JUSSARA PAIMANN 
Global Rights Compliance

"We engaged Fiona to help us develop a complex and sensitive labour rights explainer. She supported us with shaping stakeholder consultation outreach letters; provided  in-depth editorial coordination (including help with structure, key messaging, argumentation, and scheduling); offered critical feedback on use of graphics, visual presentation and design; helped frame legal positions; and provided intensive editorial drafting support. Fiona's contribution was invaluable. She went above and beyond always. We were impressed by her attention to detail, ability to quickly grasp complex nuance and her overall approach to the project. She was utterly rigorous in ensuring accuracy, conceptual clarity and alignment with our broader aims. We particularly valued her proactive communication style which saw her offer clear and actionable feedback, often illustrating points with concrete examples or draft text, which was immensely helpful. Would I recommend her to others? A million times over! Fiona’s a joy to work with, and the quality of her work and dedication are top-notch.”

"Thank you again and again for your efforts. I don’t know how to express our gratitude. Working with you has been a very instructive process… I have already recommended you to many of my friends and will continue to recommend you in the future."

The greatest gift is not being afraid to question. Cropped shot of hands being raised to a

Still have questions?

Here's some common queries we encounter...

 

What’s the process?

 

Every publication is different. We tailor our support to the needs of the output and the client.

 

In all cases, it starts with a friendly and open chat to explore what's required and how we can help.

To the extent possible, it's useful for us to have sight of your current stage of preparations so that we can see what we're dealing with. From there we can offer you a clear idea on time, cost and how best to proceed.

How much does it cost?

This (unsurprisingly) depends on how much work is involved.

We're value-driven. That means our pricing aims to be accessible whilst also respecting our worth. We offer discounts to certain charities and not-for-profits, including entities operating in the health, disability and humanitarian sectors.

For language edits and smaller pieces, we give quotes using a per word rate. On larger projects, we work on a day rate using either fixed quotes or pro rata retainers.

What would we need from you?

We're committed to forging strong collaborations with those we work with. Outputs are at their best when that commitment is mutual.

Hitting your deliverable deadline can be as much in your hands as ours. Being clear and responsive in your communications with us is key.

In the early stages, that means giving us a good view of what you need, where you want to be and what stage you're currently at (we're comfortable with non-disclosure agreements). As the work progresses, it means timely and detailed feedback on reviews.

What can you expect of us?

Our mission is to help you publish something you're proud of and that does what you need it to.

That means you can expect us to show a high level of diligence in how we apply ourselves to your project. We bring a 360-degree perspective on what's being produced, and offer solutions and strategies to achieve your aims. We will communicate with you openly, honestly and amicably, whatever's going on.

Adding value and forging strong working relations are part of our raison d'etre.
