letterpress& lantern
The studio door, the phone line and the inbox, all answered by someone with ink on a cuff.
Lamp on by half past nine. The kettle clicks, the phone sits by the proof tray, and the first thing we read each morning is whatever you sent overnight.

A voice on the line settles most questions in ten minutes. A written note gives us something to underline. Either is welcome.
Ask which package to skip. We’ll answer honestly, even when it costs us the sale.

first note to us: what helps most
The thing you sell, in the words you’d use across a kitchen table.
A launch date, real or hoped-for.
A link to the page you’d like us to rewrite.
Which package caught your eye: $450, $685, $1,085 or $1,400.
quick answers about getting in touch
how fast will you reply?
Within one working day, Monday to Friday. A note sent on Friday afternoon gets its answer Monday morning, with a time offered for the kitchen-table call.
do I have to know which package I want?
No. Say what you sell and what’s stuck. We’ll point you to the weight that fits, and tell you plainly if none of them do.
can I visit the studio?
Yes, by appointment at 20 Exchange Place. Ring (716) 861-5444 first so we can be at the door.
is the first call free?
The first conversation, about ten minutes by phone or email, costs nothing. The forty-minute kitchen-table call begins once you’ve booked a package.
