FAQ
How do you work?
I find the best way to get the ball rolling is if you can send me a brief outline of what you need writing, your target market and the result you want to achieve. I’ll then submit a proposal to you, either by phone or email, on how I can help.
Before I start writing, I’ll research your product or service before sending you a questionnaire. This is to clarify a few final details on your USP and how your copy needs to be pitched.
Once the first draft is ready, I’ll email it over for your review and feedback. I always aim to nail copy in the first draft. But if changes are necessary just let me know and I’ll be happy to action them in the following draft. I haven’t yet seen the need to place a limit on redrafts, which I like to offer as a guarantee of the quality of my work.
How do I know if you’re any good?
If you look across to the right you’ll see feedback from previous clients, and you can find find extra comments on my testimonials page . You can also read samples of emails, websites, articles, press releases and more in my portfolio. If you’d like to see anything specific feel free to ask.
I write for a number of clients on a regular basis (including a local marketing company, storage products supplier and industrial furniture manufacturer), and they’d all vouch for the quality of my work.
In particular, I write Talking Shop magazine, which is distributed to every pharmacy in the UK. So I’m more than capable of taking on large scale projects and delivering well researched copy on time.
How much do you charge?
I’m not cheap. Neither am I expensive. I simply charge what you’d expect to pay for a professional copywriter without the overheads of an agency.
The amount I charge largely depends on the complexity of the topic. Understanding why kids would want ‘heely’ roller shoes, for example, is more straightforward than the technicalities of an industrial PC.
For an estimate, email me details of your project and I’ll reply within 24 hours.
For one off projects, I request 50% of the fee upfront and the balance upon completion.
I’m based in San Diego, can you write for me?
Meeting face to face is useful, but it’s not essential.
I’ve written for clients throughout the UK, as well as companies in Hong Kong, Australia and the US. So I can write for you wherever you are in the world.
Along with your location, the type of industry you’re in isn’t a barrier. I’ve written on a wide range of topics, from pet grooming to CRM software to methadone addiction, and can write with authority on whatever you ask of me.
Contact me today with details of your project, and I’ll start putting some words together.
