Every story on this blog starts with a question: which myth, legend or folk tale deserves a fresh retelling? We dig through old books, museum catalogues and ancient art before settling on an angle. Once we're confident the tale is worth it, research and drafting usually begin within a week or two.
Each story follows a clear path from first draft to publication, mapped out before we start writing. We share a schedule with key milestones — research, drafting, fact-checking against primary sources — so you always know when the next legend will post.
Feedback sharpens every retelling. Each piece goes through agreed rounds of editing, where we check names, dates and the many regional variations of a myth, and we'll always flag clearly if a suggested change strays from the original tale.
You'll have a single contact for questions and a shared space to follow progress on any story or series. We check in regularly and share notes on sources, folklore variants and the themes that matter most to your project.
When a project wraps, we hand over every research note, source citation and draft in an organised, well-documented archive, so nothing — not a single reference to an old book or ancient statue — stays locked away with us.
Many readers and partners stay on for ongoing series, deep dives into regional folklore, or updates as new translations of old books surface. If a published story needs correcting or expanding, reach out and we'll set it right.
