welcome to
Tesser Well Consulting helps authors, literary estates, heirs, publishers, agents, and producers think about how creative work continues beyond its original maker: through rights and licensing strategy, long-term planning, and the harder questions of values, vision, and legacy.
The questions look different depending on where you stand: managing rights, inheriting responsibility, shaping an adaptation, planning for succession, or deciding what should happen next.
Charlotte Jones Voiklis founded Tesser Well Consulting after more than two decades stewarding one of the twentieth century’s most enduring literary legacies. That experience shapes how she helps clients navigate hard questions about creative work today.
The work shows up in a few other places too: in writing and talks, in practical tools you can use yourself, and on stage.
stewardship in practice
Essays and talks drawn from two decades stewarding the Madeleine L’Engle estate — the questions creative legacies raise, seen up close.
resources and tools
Briefing papers, questionnaires, and workbooks — practical tools for thinking through your own hard questions.
