Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer?
Bees' Knees Creatives is a Phoenix-based creative studio offering fiction and nonfiction writing, editorial photography, graphic design, and creative consulting. Whether you need a compelling book cover, a polished manuscript evaluation, or a brand identity that actually looks like you, we bring the full weight of our craft to every project.
How do I get started?
Fill out the contact form and tell us what you're working on. We'll follow up within 1–2 business days to learn more about your project, determine the best fit, and outline next steps. If a custom quote applies, we'll provide one before anything moves forward.
What makes you different?
We're working creatives, not a agency. Ceci Ellis and Sean Ellis are published authors, a working photographer, and experienced designers — which means when we consult on your project, we're drawing on firsthand craft, not just process.
Do you work with first-time authors?
Absolutely. Whether you're polishing a first draft or preparing to query agents, our editorial and consulting services are designed to meet you where you are.
Can I hire you for just one service?
Yes — all of our services are available individually. You don't need a full package to work with us. Many clients start with a manuscript evaluation or a single consulting session and go from there.
Where are you based and do you work remotely?
We're based in Phoenix, Arizona, and work with clients everywhere. Consulting sessions, editorial services and design projects are handled remotely. Photography is assessed case by case.
