(Anything greater than 100,000 words would be priced up accordingly)
Marketing:
If required, I also offer book marketing services and have access to a comprehensive database of personal media contacts.
Negotiating Rates:
Top copywriters charge extortionate fees. I am the exception. I offer you more for your money. My rates are very flexible and open to negotiation.
If you opt for the per hour structure, you only pay for the exact number of hours and minutes that it has taken me to complete the copy. If, for example, a job takes 2 hours and 10 minutes, I will only charge you for 2 hours and 10 minutes. I do not round up to the next hour. I am also prepared to work on a per project, per page, or per word basis according to your preference.
Once I understand your own requirements and agree on a pricing structure, I can give you a firm price on a job.
When you agree to a quote, the only stipluation I make is that 20% of the total fee is paid upfront. Clearly, when conducting business over the internet, a level of trust is involved. This upfront payment is designed to protect both parties because it means that personal details are exchanged prior to work commencing. I do not then request the outstanding payment until the project is completed and you are satisfied with the finished product.
For a no obligation quote, please feel free to contact me.
Payment
Whilst I don't expect full payment until a project is completed and approved, I do request that a nominal payment of £75 is made upfront (unless the total cost of a project is £75 or less).
Large organisations tend to have their own agenda for paying outstanding invoices, which often exceeds my standard 30 day terms. As a small business, I am more reliant on payments being made in a timely fashion, but I also appreciate that I have no control over a client's accounts' department. This is why I ask for a small upfront payment prior to the commencement of a project.
