Develop new material or work from your first draft... either way, I can help you create professional material to lift your message above the ordinary. I offer three levels of copywriting:

1. Proofing – a review of your existing content, focused primarily on grammar and structure to avoid those common errors you often see in print. Proofing is the least time consuming, and may include recommendations for the order of presentation and logical flow. It’s the final review you need before hitting the “send” key.

2. Sharp Editing – involves fully understanding your existing content and the message you want to present. The focus of good editing is to quickly convey your message so the reader takes action. You provide the proposed text and I will recommend content, layout and structure changes to meet with your approval. Use this service over time and your writing will rapidly improve, saving you money in the long run.

3. Copywriting – I will create your message for you, including two rounds of revisions until it is final. We begin by discussing your business, the target audience, the purpose of the writing project, results you want to experience, and layout constraints. When you need it done professionally and can’t devote your own time to the task, I’ll do it for you – at a price far lower than ad agencies or PR firms.

Fees
I quote by the project or by the piece.

Hourly rates apply to incremental work, or supplemental requests.
Hourly rate: $125

Revisions: All quotes include two rounds of revisions. Additional revisions will be billed at the hourly rate.

Services agreement: May be required depending on the size of the project. New jobs require a 50% deposit prior to start.

Rush Fees: A rush fee of 25% of total project cost may be applied for jobs with deadlines of 48 hours or less, and 50% for jobs assigned on Friday and due by Monday.

Kill Fee: Please understand that writing is a service, not a product. If a project is killed during or after the copywriting stage, the writer is entitled to full payment for all hours invested up to that point.

What you can expect
• A short discovery questionnaire, to help us both be clear on what your finished materials should convey to the reader.

MS Word version
Adobe Acrobat PDF version
(The free version of Acrobat Reader is available on our Portfolio page. While it allows you to fill in this form and print it, your changes can not be saved or sent by email, only fax. I recommend using the Word version.)

• A free initial consultation to determine the scope of your project and estimate the effort required.

• An initial review of material you provide by e-mail. If your project is sensitive, I provide a non-disclosure agreement for your protection.

• Final revisions with all markup edits visible (on editing jobs), along with a fully revised version in final form.

I want to insure that you communicate with clarity and focus.
