I’ll send over a questionnaire to help you gather all the content needed for your newspaper, as well as some example articles for inspiration. I’ll include suggested word counts and sections to give you a starting point, but ultimately you can include anything you want (as long as it fits somewhere within the number of pages for your order).

I’ll be available by email if you need any feedback or suggestions during this time!

Once you’re finished writing and gathering your content and have filled out my questionnaire, I will design a custom layout for you! If you have any preferences for where things should go, you can let me know, but otherwise I will design a newspaper layout that works best with the content you provide.

You can usually expect a PDF proof by email within 3 business days. At that point, you’ll have a chance to review everything before it’s printed.

Once you’ve received your PDF proof, take some time to look over everything carefully and make sure everything’s perfect! If you need revisions, I will make those changes based on your feedback and send a revised proof for you to review.

You’ll have two rounds of revisions included with your order, but if you need more, additional rounds are billed at $25 per proof. We will go back and forth until you are happy with the final design and it’s approved for printing.

Once everything is approved, your order is immediately sent into production for final printing! Production time depends on the project, but typically takes up to two weeks. I will make sure the process goes smoothly with high quality prints. If your order includes any finishing work (folding, twine assembly, envelope stuffing, etc), I will handle those details and care.

Final prints are packaged and shipped to you via USPS Priority Mail, and I’ll send over a tracking number so you can keep an eye on delivery timing.
