Fees

The tables below show the typical fee range for various deliverables. A few things to note:

  • Most of my writing projects are based on project fees, rather than hourly, to allow us both to prevent budget surprises.
  • Your customized proposal will include more specific fees that reflect your goals, schedule, and budget.
  • Separate content and copywriting deliverables can be bundled to create a specialized deliverable. For example, a display ad, press release, and email sequence can be combined with a landing page to create a lead generation bundle.
  • The typical timeframes are based on my standard process and terms shown at the bottom of this page.

Staying Organized: My Process

Here is a process I’ve used on other projects. It’s straightforward and helps each of us meet your marketing goals and deadlines.

Step
1. Discovery
2. Onboarding
3. Writing
4. Feedback
6. Final Delivery
Process
• We chat on Zoom or by phone to discuss your goals, schedule, and budget.
• We agree to work together.
• I send you a proposal for your review and signature.
• You send me a creative brief and other background materials.
• You establish a single point-of-contact to answer questions and help me schedule interviews with SMEs, if needed.
• I use your material to research, write, and submit a draft for review.
• Your teams reviews the draft and provides feedback.
•My single point-of-contact reviews and consolidates the feedback.
• I use the feedback to make revisions as needed. My fee includes two rounds of revisions.
• I submit final, clean copy, ready to be used by design, sales, or marketing.

Terms

For most projects under $ 1,000, I ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit to secure your place on my schedule, with the remaining 50% due upon delivery of the first draft. The deposit reserves your place in my schedule and covers the upfront discovery, planning, research, and preparation needed to begin the project.

For smaller projects or ongoing work assignments, we can discuss alternative pay terms. If we’re a good fit, a retainer agreement could be a good option for ongoing projects.

Linda is a reliable freelance writer.

"…I personally appreciate your reliability. Not many of the freelance writers I've worked with would be willing to track down elusive information, follow leads (who sometimes don't want to be followed), and keep me updated on material they've already send in.…"

I could rely on Linda to research, analyze, and then determine the best solutions for the eCommerce sites we were building.
