What do I charge?

My fees vary from project to project.  They depend on things like:

  • The size of the piece – both how big it is and how much input I’m distilling into that size.
  • The research required – who I need to talk to, how much I need to listen to or watch.
  • How much and what I need to read.
  • What level of strategic messaging and marketing development is required.
  • The number of meetings, calls and the amount of project management involved.
  • How many revisions you want to include.

I also have commission arrangements if you’re looking for a long term partner.

It’s the old “how long is a piece of string” – and very variable. Sometimes, the less words I deliver, the longer the distillation process takes.

In the meantime, you need valuable copy or content – so how do we get started?

We start with a Fixed Price Introductory Package

To fill this gap, I offer a limited set of introductory packages.  You get to find out whether I’m the right writer for you with a limited risk.  I get to understand you, your business and the complexity of your content.

If we decide to continue working together, then we can discuss service and payment options.
