Frequently Asked Questions:

Could you please explain your copywriting process?


As a freelance copywriter, I like to begin all of my client relationships with an initial friendly consultation during which we discuss your copywriting needs, goals, and timeframes. Afterwards I will draw up a proposal or 'statement-of-work' outlining what we discussed and including an estimate for freelance copywriting fees. If you decide you'd like to work with me, I will mail or fax you a basic Letter of Agreement which confirms our business arrangement. 

Once you've signed this document and returned it to me, the project can begin. I will ask you to provide as much background material as possible which I will use as the basis for my writing. This includes (but is not limited to) brochures, flyers, marketing e-mails, reports, case studies, web content, and any other kind of  information you may have. Knowledge is the key to writing effective copy!

After I have provided you with the first copywriting draft, I will ask that you thoroughly review it and organize your comments, questions and revisions for discussion. There are times when your copy may need some minor revisions. The task of writing copy is essentially a collaborative process. Open communication is absolutely crucial if I am to perform successfully as your personal copywriter. I am not satisfied until you are satisfied.


What do your freelance copywriting fees include?


My copywriting fees include in-depth research, telephone/e-mail discussions, copywriting, and up to two rounds of copy revisions, if needed. In addition, I can convert any manuscript or Word document into a downloadable .pdf e-book and can complete the process with booklet printing, collating, folding, and ring or saddle-stitch binding for a very reasonable cost.


How can you write my e-book or my project if you don't have any direct experience in my field?


Research is an integral part of the process for any copywriter, and my copywriting fees include this research. Prior to writing even one word of copy, I spend ample time getting up to speed on your business, audience, products and your USP (Unique Selling Proposition.) I am a 'quick study' as well as a zealous learner. Research is a part of my job which I truly enjoy. I specialize in editing and ghostwriting all types of books.


How do you propose we get started?


The ideal way to launch a new project is to contact me by e-mail so we can collaborate on the creation of a “creative platform.” The platform defines all the key elements, objectives and parameters of the project and serves to get everybody involved “on the same page.”


How do you charge?


I charge on a per project basis and prepare a written estimate for each one. Estimates are all-inclusive for meetings, research, outlines, copy, and ongoing project coordination. Invoices will not exceed the estimated price. Most small jobs are billed upon completion, however for larger projects—such as booklets, web sites or multi-piece projects—I request a percentage to be paid up-front or at certain milestones. All projects require written pre-approval. Payment terms are Net 10 days.


*PS/ As your Personal Copywriter, I work with one client at a time in order to give you and your project my full attention. I will be available to you 24/7.
