Quick Consult

Best for a single question you keep circling. Whether an angle is worth pursuing, whether a reference means what you think it means, whether a piece of Chinese material fits the story you're telling.

Bring one thing rather than five. Thirty minutes goes fast, and you'll get more from it if we go deep on one problem than skim four.

Come with the question written down and any material you want me to look at pasted into the booking form. I'll have read it before we start.

Common reasons people book this tier: sense-checking a creative concept, deciding whether a topic has legs, understanding why something isn't landing with a Chinese or Western audience, or a quick historical question you can't get a straight answer to online.
