The commissioned bench
Paid Tools
The Workshop is free and will stay free. These three are not. Each one puts a craftsman's hands on your actual manuscript — combing it, setting it, or lifting your own voice out of it — and craft is paid for. Every fee is a share of the word count, posted here, so you can price the work without asking a soul.
The Scriptorium
3% of word count · $2,700
The manuscript editor — every line combed by hand and by house law.
A full pass over the manuscript: line edit, rhythm, repetition, passive construction, dialogue attribution, continuity of names and places, and a marked copy showing every change so nothing is done to your book behind your back.
- A marked manuscript, change by change, each one refusable
- A clean manuscript, accepted changes applied
- The Scribe's report — the habits worth breaking, named
The Font Finder
2% of word count · $1,800
The interior typeface — chosen, judged, and set to print standard.
Sixteen real book faces set with your own prose at true print size, judged against your shelf, your mood and your market, with the printed page count and signature cost of each. The commission sets the winner: chapter heads, drop caps, running heads, folios, ornaments and all.
- Your prose set in every candidate face at true page size
- The house verdict, with page count and print thickness for each
- The chosen interior fully set — heads, caps, folios, ornaments
- Print and ebook stylesheets, ready for the printer
The Voice Clone
1% of word count · $900
Your own throat, taken with consent, cast in your own book.
Read one oath aloud and the house takes an impression of your voice, trains it under written consent, and casts it as a narrator in your film book or audio book — and in nothing else, ever.
- A trained voice held in your name alone
- Consent recorded in the house Spine, revocable by you
- The voice available to cast in your own build
