Hyperlynx Studio FieldBook — Issue 001
April 2026
It's been a while.
If you've been watching the site, you may have noticed the blog has been quiet. That wasn't neglect — it was heads-down work. I've spent the last several months rebuilding the foundation of Hyperlynx Studio: refining what I offer, learning new things by actually doing them, and setting up systems that make the work more sustainable.
This newsletter is part of that rebuild. Consider this your first look behind the scenes.
Services, Redefined
I spent time being honest about what I do well — and what clients actually need. The old service list was a menu. The new one is a model.
Core is a one-time engagement. Website builds, digital presence setup, a project taken from concept to launch. Clean scope, clear deliverable, done.
Drive is an ongoing monthly retainer. If your site is already live but needs consistent attention — updates, optimization, content support, strategy — Drive keeps things moving without the overhead of managing a contractor project by project. More on this below.
Book Projects
I published my first book on Amazon earlier this year: Wait! It Does That? Fair warning — I'm calling it a rough first edition, because it was. Intentionally. The goal was to learn the publishing process by actually doing it, not reading about it. Mission accomplished. (→ Pick it up on Amazon)
Two more are in progress:
A follow-up that goes deeper on the same territory
Prompts for People — a practical guide to using AI tools without losing your own voice or workflow
I'm also working on a creative writing project on the side. More on that when it's closer to ready.
Courses in the Works
Books lead naturally to courses, so I'm planning a focused suite of them — all practical, all built around things I actually use day to day:
Content planning with todo apps — how to turn a task manager into a working content strategy system
WordPress for real humans — not a dev course, but a confidence course
Note-taking that actually works — tools, habits, and how to make your notes useful instead of just archived
No firm launch dates yet. Subscribers here get first access and discounted rates when they drop.
