Philosophy
The text biz helps you to create the texts that you need, for the context in which you need them.
Maybe you are a business looking for stylistic help from a professional linguist. If so, the text biz can work with you to develop a house style or a linguistic look and feel. On the other hand, if you don't care about the whole writing process and just want a text that works for you, the text biz can work to create the right text for the right context.
The text biz can also edit and revise existing texts to match quality requirements.
The text biz is about delivering great text in context.
