Field notes

Stuff we've learned running an editorial team.

Honest notes from inside NOT. Written for creators thinking about editors, editing, or just how to stop drowning in unfinished cuts.

Hiring an editor is easy. Keeping one is the hard part.

Where creators find editors, why most burn out on freelancers, real pricing, and when a managed service beats the circus.

Same footage, different craft. How to repurpose without diluting the long-form, and why we split the work internally.

The cost isn't the hours, it's the context-switching. Signs you're cooked and how to hand off without losing your voice.

Who we are, why we started, and what one week with a managed editorial team actually looks like.

Turnaround times, how onboarding works, how we invoice. It's all on the FAQ.
