EDITORIAL CONSULTING
From the Founder & Editor of Bloom Magazine.
Fifteen years in editorial management and design led here, to a magazine built from nothing, into editorial reinvented for women entrepreneurs. This is where that same experience becomes available to you, whether you're a brand ready to turn editorial into an actual marketing channel, or a founder ready to build the magazine you keep telling people you're going to start, or perhaps guidance on the magazine you already started building.
How This Works
Every option below follows the same simple process. Book and pay online, fill out a short intake form built specifically for the option you chose, so the time we spend together goes toward answers instead of background, then show up for the session. Anything beyond the conversation itself, a written summary, a full roadmap, is called out clearly under each option, so you know exactly what you're getting before you book.
Fashion, beauty, travel, wellness, and lifestyle brands work with us to build a real editorial extension of their brand, a magazine of their own, built to give them a redefined voice, an audience, and a kind of authority no ad campaign can buy. Three ways in, depending on how far along you already are.
I’m A Brand
Quick Consult | 60 minutes, $200
One focused question, answered directly. Should this be a magazine, a blog, a newsletter. Is your current content actually doing anything for you. You'll walk away with: a direct, honest answer to the one question that's been sitting with you, enough to know your next move. Your form covers: your brand, the one question you want answered, and anything you've already tried, so the full hour goes toward answering it instead of gathering background. No written follow-up, the session is the deliverable.
The Editorial Consult | 90 minutes | $275
A full diagnostic on where your brand's editorial opportunity actually is, and what the first real move should be. You'll walk away with: a clear read on your brand's actual editorial opportunity, plus a written summary so the direction doesn't live only in your notes. Your form covers: your current marketing channels, what you've already tried, and your real goals, so the session starts at the diagnosis instead of the discovery. You'll receive the one-page summary within a few days after.
The Brand Editorial Audit & Roadmap | 3-hour block, $500
A real audit of what you already have, a look at how the brands doing this well are actually doing it, and a written roadmap for building editorial into your marketing, start to finish. You'll walk away with: a full written roadmap, what to build, in what order, and how it should actually work for your brand specifically. Your form covers: existing content examples, brand guidelines, and a short brief on your goals and budget, real material to audit rather than a conversation starting cold. The written roadmap follows within about a week.
I’m A Founder
For the woman building her own magazine, or already running one and stuck somewhere in the process. Four ways in, starting as small as you need to.
30-Minute Consult | $75
One question, one direct answer. Is my concept actually viable. What should my first three issues cover. How do I think about ad rates when I'm just starting out. The easiest possible way to start. You'll walk away with: a direct answer to the one question that's actually holding you back from moving forward. Your form covers: a couple lines on your concept and the single question you want answered, so all 30 minutes go straight to the answer. No written follow-up, this one is just the conversation.
Quick Consult | 60 minutes | $140
A little more room, still one focused question, with space to actually talk it through. You'll walk away with: the same direct answer, with enough room to talk through the reasoning behind it, not just the headline. Your form covers: your concept or current magazine and the question you want answered, giving a little more context going in. No written follow-up.
The Founder Consult | 90 minutes | $215
A full diagnostic on your concept or your current magazine, whatever stage you're at, plus a one-page summary to keep. You'll walk away with: a full read on where you actually stand, whatever stage you're at, plus a written summary you can come back to. Your form covers: your concept or current magazine, your intended audience, what you've built so far, and your biggest obstacle right now. The one-page summary follows within a few days.
The Magazine Launch Blueprint | 3-hour block | $420
Content pillars, an editorial calendar framework, real revenue model options, and the basics of production and distribution, all in writing by the end. Already running a magazine instead of launching one, this same block becomes a working session on whatever's actually stuck. You'll walk away with: a full written blueprint, content pillars, an editorial calendar, real revenue options, and production and distribution basics, everything you need to move from idea to issue one. Your form covers: your concept, your intended audience, any existing content or assets, your revenue goals, and your timeline. If you're already running a magazine, it instead covers what's actually stuck, and the block becomes a working session on that. The written blueprint follows within about a week.
