FEES & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q:      What are the fees for your services?

A:      In effort to best serve you, instead of posting fees, the first step is to have a thorough discussion about your project and its objectives. Once I have a good understanding of your needs, I can quote you a price and give you a realistic deadline.

 

Q:      What do your fees include?

A:      My fees include the following:

1.      All of the work that we negotiate in advance during our initial
consult.

2.      Project research.

3.      An initial draft of the project.

4.      One (1) Revision.

5.      The final draft. 

 

Q:      How long does it take for you to finish a project?

 A:      The time that it takes me to finish a project varies depending on the (business) season that we’re in, and also the amount of projects that I already have in queue. Once I have a good understanding of your project’s size and scope, I can then give you a ball park turnaround time.

 

Q:      I want to contact you about an upcoming project, just to chat to see if the collaboration would be a good fit for each of us. I also have more questions, am I under any obligation to buy if I e-mail you?

 A:      Initial consults are free. You are under no obligation to buy.

 

Q:      I’m in Canada, and you’re in New York. Do we have to meet in person?

A:      Nope. As long as you have internet access, we can communicate by e-mail or skype. We can also communicate by phone, but i prefer to use skype and e-mail.

 

Q:      I read on your homepage that you do international work, what languages do you offer your writing in?

A:      Currently I offer my writing in English only. I am proficient in reading, writing, and speaking English. It is my first language.

 

Q:      Do you do all of the writing yourself, or do you outsource projects?

A:      I do all of the writing myself. I have a team of editors, and graphic designers that I do use if the project requires.

 

Q:      Do you offer website development and graphic designing along with your copywriting services?

 A:      I only create marketing copy, and do not do website development or graphic designing. However, I can put a team together that i work with regularly that helps provide these services.

Q:      How do I go about hiring you?

 A:      Initial contact is best done by email. Contact me here

 

Q:      Do I have to sign a contract?

A:      I don’t require a contract, however, once we agree to work on a project, we need to document all of the work required, and agree to all of the terms. To accomplish this I send my clients an invoice (sometimes also called an assignment spec sheet) that contains a short description of the project, the fee, the deadline, when payment is due, and anything else that we may have discussed during the initial consult.

 

Q:      Do you require money upfront?

A:      Yes. Once we have had our initial consult, and the invoice template is completed and returned, I require 30% of my total fee (non-refundable) to start the initial draft. Once you have received the initial draft, 40% of the fee will be required. Upon completion of the project, the remaining 30% will be due.
