a way with words

 
 

Consider bleyworld's literature design and language consulting in these instances and others:

  • Your text content is redundant, outdated, or otherwise unrevised

  • Your project is brand new and needs its voice developed

  • Your message across platforms is dischordant

  • The textual user experience of your website is counterintuitive

  • Underdeveloped logic or structure in your project is putting extra squeeze on a fast-approaching deadline

  • Your team lacks a dedicated proofreading or editing partner

  • When adaptation—for instance, to context or audience—is of the utmost

 
 
 

consultations

Your consultation is all about what you do, and what you intend to achieve.

Tell us everything. Who are you trying to reach? Which aspect of your organization will this project benefit? bleyworld takes the opportunity to listen, and to hash out the details with you, in order to give you the most worthwhile assessment.

We value the opportunity–whether prior to or following your consultation–to review any preexisting content or source material you provide relevant to the project.

 
 
 

new content design

Are you founding a new organization? Building a brand new website?

Our method is to follow you step by step, learn the language, and design a textual experience that’s solid and clear by the time you’re ready to launch.

Considering the incorporation of multimedia? bleyworld literature design pairs perfectly with our audiovisual services.

 
 
 

redesign of preexisting content

Any of this sound familiar?

Your organization or project has broadened or morphed to the point that the current text representing it no longer aligns with its true essence. Your website is full of first-draft placeholder content hastily written by an intern forever ago and never revised. Your specialty is anything but the written word, but your target audience is growing, and properly informing them necessitates that you present yourself with more inclusivity, clarity, or specificity.

bleyworld redesign can cut wordiness in half without sacrificing any of the intended message.

 
 
 

basic proofreading & editing

Exactly what it sounds like. Sometimes all that’s required to call a project complete is a readthrough by a word-keen eye.

We use the comments features in Google Docs and Adobe PDF, and track notes in MS Word documents, to highlight suggested changes.

 

 

audiovisual flow and flavor

 

At your disposal is our background in media and the arts, proven in arenas from music performance and live FM radio to commercial scriptwriting and local television.

 
 
 

audio & voiceover

Provide a raw audio file, a script, and your specifications, e.g., desired length, pacing, noise reduction.

Or, simply provide the script and specs. You’ll receive your content back in a warm, articulate out-of-house voice recorded in clean, high-quality audio.

 
 

custom music & soundscapes

The sound of bleyworld knows few bounds: a quarter-century of writing and recording in numerous genres, performing scores of live concerts and private events. Specialties are hybrid fingerstyle/Spanish-influenced guitar, electronic rhythm, acoustic percussion, piano, and vocals.

Currently, our sound studio speaks through JBL monitors—308p mains and the 310s subwoofer. Our live sound is powered by Harbinger Vari V2215 and V2212 speakers.
