How I work
Here’s everything you wanted to know before you start on your next writing project.
If you have not worked with a copywriter before, it is an easy, painless process.
The 7 Easy Steps
Step 1. Scope of Work (aka The Brief)
Here is where I learn about your project. Don’t be shy. I need to know:
- Who are you?
- What type of writing do you need – article, website, blog, white paper etc.
- Who are you writing the document for?
- What is the tone of the writing piece? (academic, formal, informal, authoritative, friendly, fun…)
Step 2. Proposal
From all the information I gather, I will be able to provide a proposal that includes:
- the details of the project,
- price,
- key deliverables
- expected completion date
Step 3: Deposit
No one likes not getting paid for their work. So once you have agreed to the cost and Terms & Conditions, I will send you an invoice for 50% of the total price (If the project value is below $500- then I charge 100% upfront)
Step 4: Magic Happens
Also known as…. When the writing starts.
Well, it’s not really magic but in a wink of an eye, you will have your first draft of the copy.
Step 5: Drafts
All projects will include two rounds of revisions (unless otherwise stated in the proposal).
To keep the creative juices flowing and to keep the project on track. I request that you send back any revisions within 14 days. Sometimes life gets crazy – and if there are any problems you just have to drop me a line.
Step 6: Final Payment
When the job is complete, I will send you an invoice for the final amount. Payment terms are 10 working days.
You receive the full copyright and intellectual property rights for any work delivered when the final payment is received. The copy is yours to use as you please.
Step 7: Bliss
Now you are as happy as a clam. (for the record – I don’t know why clams are happy) I will ask you for a testimonial so that I can get more great clients like you.

Do I need a Copywriter?
Copywriting is the art and science of strategically delivering words that persuade people to take some form of action – whether it’s buying your product, visiting your website or reading your article.

Can I change the copy in the future?
