How do we work together?

I keep things really simple. We start with a phone call, where you share your ideas, needs, vision, or scope of work. It’s helpful if you have an idea of your priorities or what groups of work you’d like at the same time. The day of our meeting I will follow up via email with an estimate of what I think your vision might cost to write up, and a time frame that I feel comfortable completing it within. I am very keen on making sure the energy exchange feels fair, so I'm always open to discussing anything that doesn't feel in balance. We are a team, so I want to start and finish in sync.

Once we’re both satisfied with our plan, I will schedule another phone call where I really try to dig into your mindset, values, and what you want your clients or readers to take away from the assignments. I am deeply inspired by these conversations and work quickly afterward. Google Docs works really well for me to write and share most material. Using private links, you can view your documents from any location, share your comments and save them directly to your computer.

When any drafts are completed I will send them to you right away for your review and feedback. I always allow time for editing, and still almost always finish before my estimated delivery date. When the scope of work is done and you’re happy with everything, I will send you a detailed invoice for your records and you can pay me via check or electronically.

If you have multiple batches of work, the process repeats!

PRICING

It’s important for both of us that I charge by the project, not by the hour. As a writer, ideas are filtering through and dropping in all the time, not just when I’m at the computer. Some projects are more involved than others, but they all hold value. Prices could range from $35 to $350 depending on the size of the project and how much overall thought went into completing your vision. Fairness is extremely important to me, so I charge what I truly feel I earned working for you, and not the most I can ask for. My goal is to be affordable so we can work together for a long time!

Consider keeping me on with a retainer. If you have work that needs to be done monthly, let me make you an offer to keep your ship sailing smoothly with an affordable package deal.

I can turn around certain writing pieces same day/next day for an additional 20% rush fee.
