Expertise You Can Trust
Paper Airplane offers a unique set of skills: technical proficiency and savvy storytelling.
We fly. We write. We teach. We publish.
We save the world through well-crafted aviation scenes.
For Aviators
You can fly, and you have a story to tell, but crafting a story readers will love is where you need help. We are here for you with guidance in plot, scene, and character development, honoring your authentic story with mastery in writing.
For Non-Aviators
You know plot, you know character development, but creating a believable story with aviation elements is outside your experience. We can help you hone your story with cause and effect distinct to aviation.

Professional aviators
Our clients have access to decades of flying experience across several continents, in many types of aircraft, and in all weather conditions. We each hold an airline transport pilot (ATP) certificate, the highest-level pilot certificate achievable.
Award-winning authors
Our clients benefit from the experience of multi-genre authors in fiction and nonfiction. As writers of top-ranked stories and a solid reader following, we know what it takes to create a winning saga.
Advisors in aviation writing
Our clients receive support through feedback on strengths and weaknesses in their dramatic action. We know how links in a chain of events can create critical consequences; that potential situations require real-world understanding beyond industry terminology.
Your integrity matters, and you want your readers to trust your writing. Risk management dictates the need for a well-trained and experienced crew to help you plot your course.
