Working with me is an enjoyable, stress-free process. Read on and you’ll see what I mean.

Location? Everywhere, U.S.A.!

I’m based in Austin, Texas, but I have clients in multiple cities and can work with anyone in the U.S. with an email account and a phone. I’m ready to be your go-to writer, wherever you are!

What First?

Getting started is easy. Just
contact me with your contact info and a brief description of your writing needs, and within 24 hours I’ll respond with an estimate of the cost and timeframe. (I usually bill by the job instead of by the hour, so I have to learn something about the assignment before I can quote a price.)

Then you get a FREE initial consultation--by phone, email, or in person--so we can discuss the writing job in detail, learn more about each other, and decide whether I’m a good fit for the job.

After the consultation, you’ll receive an emailed bid letter outlining the terms we’ve discussed, and then we’ll sign a contract that binds us to those terms. Then you can relax, and I can start working!

Drafts and Rewrites

I’ll email you a first draft of the copy in Microsoft Word file (.doc) format for your review. If you love it, great--we’re done! If you have changes you’d like me to make, that’s great too. Send me your comments and I’ll be happy to give you up to 2 rewrites, large or small, at no extra charge!

I make every effort to “nail” the job within those 2 free rewrites. And I must be pretty good at it, because I almost never get requests for additional tweaks. But I do offer them, billable as a separate job, at a rate of $50 per hour.

Please note that rewrites may include any amount of additional or replacement text, but they do NOT include “re-concepting” (starting over from scratch with a completely new idea, theme, or approach). A re-concept request must be initiated and billed as a new job.

Payment

For jobs smaller than $500 I require full payment in advance. Larger jobs may be split into two or more segments, with subtotals payable on assignment of each segment. I accept PayPal or company checks for all transactions; company checks must “clear” before work can proceed.
