ALL SERVICES
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
Writing or editing copy that spins up dust (in a good way) for you or your business is my jam. I put on my wordsmith hat and as a skilled copywriter it is my job to adopt your or your brand’s voice and vibe.
Do you hire someone to cut your hair? Design your business cards? Manage your accounting or taxes? Similarly, an editor/copywriter is a service provider who lends their expertise to help your chosen words fire on all cylinders.
COPYWRITING
A professional copywriter for nearly two decades, I am well versed in creating copy from scratch or infusing existing copy with a fresh squeeze of word wow.
Pricing varies by what type of copywriting needs you have (collateral, content, website, digital, blog, article et al.)
PROOFREADING
The text you use to convey any narrative is meant to be an extension of yourself or your business so you definitely want it to be error free. With my proofreading hat on I can make corrections to typos, punctuation, grammar, misspelled words and sentence structure as needed and ensure your copy is a well-polished read.
Projects might include ads, website copy, brochures and marketing collateral, powerpoint decks, press releases, white papers, case studies, newsletters, blogs, social media posts and thought leadership articles. Proofreading is vital before publishing or printing, always.
Pricing for proofreading begins at $50/hour. You can buy packages of 5 or 10 hour increments if you know you will be needing regular proofreading services. I also offer a discounted retainer agreement for those needing 10+ hours/month of services.
COPY EDITING
The structure, intent, flow and readability of the copy you utilize says a lot about how your messaging will ultimately be received. If you are not sure that it’s saying what you want it to, I can help. It’s what I do, I love working with and around the “bones” of language.
Projects might include proposals, reports and business plans, website copy, brochures and marketing collateral, press releases, white papers, case studies, newsletters, blogs, social media posts and thought leadership articles. This is not an exhaustive list. If it has words, I can turn on edit mode.
Pricing varies by industry, topic, and scope of editorial needs (copy editing vs developmental editing or both). You can buy packages of 5 or 10 hour increments if you know you will be needing regular copywriting services. I also offer a discounted retainer agreement for those needing 10+ hours/month.
MANUSCRIPT EDITING
I offer macro to micro manuscript editing services for fiction and nonfiction writers. Depending on your needs, I can do a deep dive with a focus on plot thread, character arcs, fluency and organizational and chronological development or I can keep the editing within the parameters of checking for redundancies, proper syntax, consistent formatting, typos, grammar and punctuation concerns.
I can also pen book cover descriptions, author bios, content for promotional landing pages or websites and book snippets for seller sites. All of these elements should purposefully be architected so that readers perusing feel the urge to buy your book.
Pricing starts at $1500+ for micro (line) editing and $3000+ for macro (developmental) editing which is dictated by the number of pages involved in the edit. Custom quotes are provided for book descriptions, author bios, seller site content, and promotional landing page/website content.
HOW I WORK
When we work together, I take great care in getting to know your (or your brand or business) voice, vision, objectives and challenges. I value ongoing two-way communication with all the clients I partner with. My process is straightforward yet flexible. Typically, I work in google docs for ease of collaboration and real time edit/writing history. Word documents with track changes is also a viable option.
THE NITTY GRITTY
Freelance Agreement
If you hire me as your word gal, I have a simple freelance agreement with terms and conditions and a description of the scope of work that I would send to you to review and sign prior to any copywriting/editing commencing.
Turnaround Time
This depends on many factors such as my schedule, your deadlines, the size of the assignment, et al. I often have some wiggle room, so let me know what you are up against and I will do my best to optimize and balance your needs.
Invoicing
I provide an itemized monthly electronic invoice. Terms are generally net 15. I bill on or around the last day of each month for work completed during any given month.
