Research

We offer over ten years’ experience in researching topics big & small. From fact-checking extant texts to contributing to the writing of new ones, no research project is too big or small. In addition, our access to UC Berkeley’s library holdings—digital & physical—makes the quality of our research work particularly high-quality.

 

Creative and Critical Writing

With an archive of writing projects in poetry, script writing, prose and creative non-fiction we have ample experience to support writing book proposals, research findings, ghostwriting entire projects, and much more.

 

Grantwriting for Artists

With over twenty years’ experience non-profit arts administration, we offer grant-writing experience with public arts funders such as the NEA, California Arts Council and San Francisco Arts Commission, as well as private foundations such as Hewlett, Guggenheim and Haas, to name a select few. We have a solid understanding of regional arts philanthropy and the resources available to help artists and arts organizations find their funding for their urgent and interesting projects.
