how to order

“If writers were good businessmen, they’d have too much sense to be writers.”
Irvin S. Cobb

I work fast. I price competitively. I can invoice by the day, or by the project. If you’d like me to quote for a project, just call or email. I’ll provide you with a written estimate. I don’t charge for re-writes and revisions (provided the original brief hasn’t changed). So you’ll know exactly what you’re going to pay, with no cunning add-ons. I don’t charge for initial meetings and telephone briefings.

Briefings

How does it work? Typically, we’ll have an initial chat over the phone to discuss the scope of the project. I’ll then email you a detailed briefing document. Once you’ve had an opportunity to consider my questions, we’ll have a further discussion to fine tune the brief, prior to commencement.

Meetings

I work with clients throughout the UK (and also based as far away as the USA, Finland, France, Holland and Russia).

In most cases it is unnecessary to meet in person, as everything can be dealt with by phone, conference call and email. This saves time and accelerates the process. And by reducing my time spent out of the office it also enables me to keep my fees competitive!

However, if you feel that the scope of your project is such that it necessitates a face-to-face briefing, I’ll be happy to meet up.

Deadlines

Ideally I like to have two to three weeks to work on your copy. That gives me time to polish, edit and revise until I’m happy with every word. But if you have a rush job, just tell me the date by which you must receive the copy. If I take on the job, I guarantee that you will have the copy on your desk by this date – or sooner. No matter what the deadline, the copy I submit will be right. You can depend on it.

TOBs

I require a 50% confirmation deposit prior to commencing a project, with the balance due on completion.

My guarantee

Most clients are delighted with my copy when they receive it. But if you are not 100% satisfied, I will revise the copy according to your specific guidelines – and at my expense.
