Frequently Asked Questions

Should I do my own writing and designing?

If your specialty were writing with finesse and clarity, artfully persuading and moving hearts and minds, then you wouldn't need me.

But...unless you're an expert, your copy may fall flat, desperately lack emotional appeal, fail to persuade and lose sales.

If your in-house marketing professionals are overloaded with work I can help ease their workload. By hiring a freelance writer and designer you'll save on costs; employee taxes, insurance and other employee benefits. You'll save time and hassle. And that's not all. You may gain a new perspective that you've been looking for.

Will you be able to write or design for my field?

My versatility covers a wide range of industries and I can adapt to any field. A knack for research and a background in foreign languages makes picking up new terms an easy task for me. Not to mention, a fresh approach from someone "outside of the box" may be what you need. While I'm not specializing in any industry, my industry experience falls into 4 main areas: computer technology, medical/alternative medicine, manufacturing and instructional/educational fields.

What do you charge?

I charge by the project. Projects vary according to size, scope, complexity, budget and deadlines. The more time it takes, the more involved the project, the more expensive the quote on the project will be. If you're a small company or start up with a limited budget, clearly understanding your needs and what you can afford will define the cost and what I can provide. Through clear communication and a strong intention to get results, I'll work with you to deliver marketing that boosts your profits.

How do I find out if you're right for my project?

Very simply.
I'll tell you honestly if I can provide what you need and want.
Through...

1. Adequate questions

What is your policy on revisions?

I'll work hard to make sure I clearly understand the purpose of your project and what you need from the start. After we've clarified your project, I'll provide you with a copy outline to make sure we're on the right track. Once I've delivered your finished copy you'll have 30 days to request revisions. Your success is mine and I'll work hard to make sure you're pleased with the copy. I aim to deliver beyond your expectations.

(If the scope or the purpose of the copy changes, the job becomes more than a revision. We'll re-quote the package and work out a new contract as needed.)
