Deliverables I need to walk away with: • Writers – final DOCX files of each article plus references/links for verification • Designers – packaged InDesign file, linked assets, print-ready PDFs, and a brief style guide covering fonts, colors, and grid specs I value transparent communication and quick iteration, so please include a brief note on your availability and typical turnaround time when you send your proposal.
