Artist’s Statement Ghostwriting
Do you struggle with writing about your art? Or are you a multilingual speaker in need of a quality statement in English 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
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
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
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 info@flatpage.com to purchase). Additional statements must be purchased within 7 days of the Combo package.

Wikipedia pages are an art in themselves. Our writers will craft a legitimate, properly academically sourced, and unbiased post about your work and career. The writers at Flatpage have successfully created content for Wikipedia and are familiar with the site’s style guide and formatting. We can also edit your existing page.

Wikipedia ghostwriting

Wikipedia editing

Process
Utilizing the artist’s CV, biography, press list, and/or statement of purpose, the writer will formulate an article of predetermined length (generally 350–750 words for early or mid-career and 1,000–1,500 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

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.
