Are you having trouble coming up with an artist’s statement that clearly, yet accurately reflects your practice? Are you applying for something important like a new job, a grant, or a residency program, and you need a statement that will secure it for you? Or do you have an old statement—maybe even one you’ve been using since school—that you’d like to revamp? Let us help you get there with artist’s statement editing!

Our trained editors are specialists in the craft of the artist’s statement. We can help you produce a text to describe your work, practice, or a specific project that you can use for applications, exhibitions, self-promotion, and more.

This service includes the following:

• An evaluation of your statement (max 1,000 words) that addresses structure, tone, clarity, and language/mechanics by an artist’s statement expert.
• Comments on your draft and a basic written assessment (one pass only)

Note: This package is for artist statements up to 1,000 words only and does not apply to other application materials, such as proposal, bio, etc. This service does not include line editing (rewriting) or copyediting your draft. You are responsible for making any suggested changes, unless you make a separate agreement for those services.

Do you struggle with writing about your art? Or are you a multilingual speaker in need of a quality statement to apply for opportunities? Let our writers do the work for you with artist’s statement ghostwriting!

We are specialists in writing artist’s statements both for general purposes and tailored to specific audiences and opportunities.

Whether you need a new 300-word statement for your website or a 150-word statement about a particular aspect of your practice for an application, your new statement will describe what your work is, how it’s made, and your message using an appropriate tone, organization, and correct grammar.

As part of this service, you will meet with our writer for a Zoom call, during which you will present your work and respond to any questions they might have about your practice. Then, they will get to work crafting an engaging statement that you can present with confidence.

We offer three options:

Full statement ($270): A standard 300-word statement about your work, practice, process, and motivation. These are usually used for marketing purposes, including for artist’s websites, exhibitions, and collectors.

Short statement ($135): A shorter, more condensed 150-word statement that can be used to apply for opportunities, including grants, fellowships, commissions, residencies, and other types of calls.

Combo package ($375): Includes both a full and a short statement. As part of this package, we can write additional short statements with a different focus for $55 each (please contact [email protected] to purchase). Additional statements must be purchased within 7 days of the Combo package.

All ghostwriting projects include one written draft and one pass of revisions based on your feedback. Unless otherwise agreed, the turnaround time for this service is approx. 48 hours.

Wikipedia pages are an art in themselves. Our writers will craft a legitimate, properly academically sourced, and non-biased post about your work and career (typical posts start at around 500-750 words). 

The writers at Flatpage have successfully created content for Wikipedia and are familiar with the site’s style guide and formatting.

Process: Utilizing the client’s CV, biography, or statement of purpose, the writer will formulate an article of predetermined length (generally 350 to 750 words for mid-career to and 1,000 to 1,500 words for established professionals). We will provide additional research as needed to ensure that viable secondary sources are available to backup the content in the text.

This service includes:

• An initial proposal based on our writer’s assessment of your CV, biographical narrative, and other source materials you supply that includes an approximate length and organization
• A brief call with the writer if more details are needed
• A draft of a biographical article that will be submitted for publication on Wikipedia following your approval.

Price: $1/word

Disclaimer: Wikipedia is a nonprofit organization supported by volunteers. Its platform is open for anyone with an internet connection to view and edit. It is therefore likely that the published article will experience some changes throughout the course of time. These changes will likely be minor stylistic edits or suggestions. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the article will retain its current form. It is up to the discretion of the writer and the Wikipedia community at large to follow and adhere to style, format, and content guidelines. This will ensure that the article is factually sound and written in a neutral tone. Our experience writing and editing academic subjects makes us proficient at scrutinizing articles in a strictly empirical perspective, in order to advise on the quality of the content, and determine whether it has merit for publication. Our well-written, well-sourced, and unbiased entries are less likely to be scrutinized by the Wikipedia community. Newly drafted articles can take up to 90 days to be found by search engines.
