Twelve genres. A different team for each.

A memoir editor does not write your business book.

Most competitor sites in this category use one writer roster across every genre. We don't. The team you meet on the discovery call has shipped work in your specific category before, named on the proposal.

Premium wedges

The two categories where the team is deepest and the briefs are sharpest.

Premium wedge

Memoir

Memoirs work when one specific reader feels seen. Ours work because we interview the author into the chapters that aren't on the LinkedIn page.

Letters from the Last Year by Sharon Linen Fordham

70,000–95,000 words from $11,400

Premium wedge

Business

The right business book wins a Series B, closes a multi-year keynote pipeline, or repositions a founder for an acquisition. The wrong one sits in a box. We write the right one.

Operating Under Constraint by Miguel Torres Velasco

55,000–80,000 words from $22,800

Specialist

Different rulebook entirely — see below.

Specialist team

Children's writing

Children's writing is where most adult writers fail. Word count is constraint, not freedom. We have a Chronicle-trained lead who reads every manuscript to a real seven-year-old.

The Soft Hour by Aliyah & Joseph Bremer

300–35,000 words (varies by age band) from $4,800

Fiction

Commercial and literary. One specialist writer team per category.

Fantasy

Fantasy writing and editing by people who actually read fantasy. Outline-first, world-building bible, series-friendly.

The Salt Throne by Priya Narayan-Chen

80,000–130,000 words from $13,400

Mystery & thriller

Mystery and thriller writers who plot the book first and write the prose second. Plot holes cost readers; we don't write them.

The Verdict Room by Deborah Ngozi Okafor

75,000–105,000 words from $13,400

Romance

Romance writers who deliver the genre's promises on schedule. Trope clarity, beat placement, heat-level transparency.

70,000–95,000 words from $12,800

Science fiction

Science fiction writers who can handle the science. Hard SF projects pair with a domain consultant where the technology has to hold up.

85,000–125,000 words from $13,400

Historical fiction

Historical fiction writers who do the research and a fact-checker who reads behind them. No anachronisms, no period-costume drama.

90,000–130,000 words from $14,200

Horror

Horror writers who build dread the way a thriller writer builds suspense. Slow burn first, payoff earned.

70,000–95,000 words from $13,400

Christian & faiths

Faith-based writing by writers who read in the tradition. Theological accuracy, denominational awareness, devotional cadence.

45,000–80,000 words from $12,400

Non-fiction & poetry

Everything outside fiction and memoir.

Non-fiction

Non-fiction writers and editors who can build the argument-arc, not just the prose. Frameworks, evidence, narrative.

55,000–90,000 words from $11,800

Poetry

Poetry editing and small-press publishing for serious poets. Manuscript ordering, chapbook curation, prize-submission prep.

30–80 poems for a full-length; 16–28 for a chapbook from $1,800
