Frequently Asked Questions

Writing is fun, creative, and liberating. But it can also be stressful and time-consuming, especially if you're writing to a mass audience. I am a successful copywriter because I love writing. I immerse myself in the process and enjoy every moment. Whether I'm writing to position a business as an authority in their industry or writing a "Thank you" email, I always write purposefully. Once I understand what you want to achieve with copywriting, I can craft compelling copy that delivers results. Be wary of copywriters who promise quick turnarounds at low prices. Good writing takes time, and good writers never undervalue their work.

Fees vary with each project. Writing projects are priced at a fixed cost. Editing, proofreading, and copy critiques are priced per word. I will quote you a final price after reviewing your project. I require a 50% deposit to initialize work on writing projects. I require full payment in advance for editing, proofreading, and copy critiques. I require full payment in advance for rush jobs. Price includes a rush fee that will be determined based on project size and turnaround time. Rush fees can incur a 25% to 75% markup. ALL clients must sign an Agreement. Prices include research, first draft, and two revisions.

Please provide me with the following information via email: • Type of service (sales letter, blog, etc.) • Length (5 pages, 1,000 words, etc.) • Quantity • Deadline • Any additional information The more information you can provide will result in a more accurate quote.

I guarantee your satisfaction with the copy I submit to you before its publishing or distribution. I also guarantee delivery by the established deadline. I DO NOT guarantee a specific result or response rate. There are other factors in your marketing—product, market, price, demand, economy, et al.—that I cannot control.

RESEARCH. My research begins with you, your company, and your product or service. My goal is to become as knowledgeable as you concerning these subject matters. That is why I ask as many questions. Among other things, I need to know your prospects, customers, competition, and marketing objectives. Next, I do further research until I have gathered the necessary information to create a platform. PLATFORM. The platform is where I describe the promotion I intend to write for you. This is simply an outline of the material I will include, such as the central idea, core message, core emotion of target audience, tone, features and benefits, USP (unique selling proposition), and more. FIRST DRAFT. I write and rewrite until I am satisfied with my first draft, which I then submit to you and await your feedback. FEEDBACK. Together we review and discuss the first draft. If necessary, I then proceed to revise the copy at your request. REVISION. FINAL SUBMISSION.

Timelines vary with each project. The average turnaround is two weeks. However, I will provide you with a completion date after I have reviewed your project. Please inform me if you have a specific deadline, and I will determine if it's feasible. I always do my best to accommodate the requested deadlines. Once I've accepted your project, I guarantee delivery by the established deadline.

I want you to be happy with the copy I submit! I write my first draft as if it were the final draft. I never use my first draft as a test or an outline (that's what the platform is for). While I am confident in my copywriting skills, I do not expect my clients to accept everything I write. You have the final say about your copy. It rarely requires more than two revisions (included in the project fee) to complete a project, but we can discuss further revisions at no charge if you are still not satisfied.

No. But I do recommend it. You and I need to communicate thoroughly. By providing me with a copywriting brief, you are helping me understand what you want to achieve with the copy you've hired me to write for you. I can provide you with a PDF of my copywriting brief upon request.
