The following will give you an overview of my services and how the collaboration process works. For other specifics not covered here, please email me and I will respond to your inquiries promptly.
What kind of copy do you write?
I write web content, business plans, government grants, sales letters, advertising copy, proposals, profiles, newsletters, ghost articles, brochures, postcards, press releases, edit drafts and more. If you don't see something on this list, just send me your specifications, and I will create the style of copy that suits your project.
Have you written for my type of business?
I have written for a wide range of companies, but if I haven't for your type specifically, then after a discussion of your requirements and a spell of research, I will gain enough knowledge to confidently write about your product or service. As we continue to collaborate on future projects my expertise grows and I become a valuable resource. We develop a ‘short hand' for working together and your projects will be completed with optimum efficiency.
How long does it take?
I like to have at least 1 week for shorter projects and 2-4 weeks for more involved projects. This gives me time to ensure your final draft is completely polished and ready for presentation. However, if you have a rush job, just let me know your deadline and for an extra fee of 20% I will accommodate. Your copy will always be delivered to you on or before deadline.
How much do you charge?
Fees are quoted on a per project basis. In most cases I can quote you a flat fee so that you can budget accordingly. For long term on-going projects I charge on an hourly basis. Please contact me at for your individual quote.
Terms
I require a 50% deposit to start all projects and a signed letter of agreement. An invoice for the balance will be sent prior to delivery of your final drafts, after which they will be delivered immediately.
Are re-writes included in the price?
Yes. Most clients are thrilled with the first or second draft, but if there are tweaks to be made here and there, I will gladly make 3 revisions within 30 days of delivery of your first draft.
Can you edit a draft I have already written?
Yes. If you have pre-written copy that needs a second opinion or injecting with a bit of spark, I will go through it and bring it to life.
Can I see your previous work?
Yes, by clicking on the Portfolio section, you will see several samples. If you need to see more, please contact me and I can send you additional samples.
Can you help me with graphic design?
Yes. For basic design and layout, including adding pictures for items such as brochures and postcards, I can create the whole project for you. If you need more complex work done, I can enlist the services of my partner Tracey from www.bluehalo.ca. This saves you the time and effort of finding and collaborating with an additional person. Whichever route you decide to go, your final product will be of the highest standards.
How do we get started?
After our initial consultation, I will ask you to send me as much background material as you can. This will be kept strictly confidential and is used for my research purposes only. I'll also send you a detailed questionnaire. Other questions may follow as the project develops.
When I have written your first draft, I will send it to you for your approval. You can send me additions or notes which I will gladly incorporate. Over the next 30 days, 3 re-writes will be completed - ensuring you are completely satisfied with the final draft.
How do I hire you?
Easy. Just email your details to and I will contact you immediately. I look forward to hearing from you and getting started on your project!
