For me to start work on a project, generally speaking I need:

• To understand your goals.
• Know if there’s a deadline for the project.
• See what you have already written, if anything.
• See examples of writing, websites, or other content that you like, so I have the best idea of what you want.

My starting hourly rate is $30. For many projects I can give a flat fee once I know the details.

That depends on the size of the project. For instance, a review of your webpage could be done in 24-48 hours. Working on a larger project will take more time. But whatever the case, you’ll have an estimated completion time at the outset, and I’ll always keep you up-to-date on the status of the work.

I’m always happy to hear about new projects. If we end up working together, whether I can start immediately or need to schedule it for the future depends on the project and my current workload. If I can’t begin immediately because of commitments to other clients, I’ll give you my best estimate for when I can start, and keep you updated on my availability.

Business can be stressful–working with me is not. I’ve been a freelance writer and have also been a client who hires others. I’ve seen the good and the bad from both sides, and know what it takes to complete a job in a smooth, efficient fashion.

I’m up front about when I can help a client, and when I’m not the right person. I’m happy to review your material and needs and I’ll give you my opinion on whether I can help, before starting any job. You see how I think, and I get a much better sense of the job you want done, so it’s good for both of us.

You have enough challenges. Your business deserves content that shines, and you deserve the peace of mind knowing that it’s taken care of by a professional. The pen might be mightier than the sword, but wielding it doesn’t have to be your battle.

I’ve done a lot of stuff other than writing over the years. Because of that, I’ve built up skills that help me carry projects over the finish line.

For example, let’s say you hire me to write a page, and we decide it would be best with some custom graphics. Great! But now you have another task on your list: Figure out where to hire a graphic artist; write the project description; look through proposals; email the artist; and so on. Pretty soon, it can feel like infinite task multiplication.

The good news is, you aren’t stuck doing them all yourself. I have:

• Written job posts, reviewed applicants, made hiring decisions, and handled communications to assemble and manage effective teams for projects.
• Researched the feasibility of ideas and created reports. For example, what might be involved in starting a podcast? Buying radio ads? Submitting videos to be considered for awards?
• Researched sources for ordering custom items, such as hats, clothing, shipping boxes, neon signs, temporary tattoos, clothing patches, and more.
• Uploaded content and posts to YouTube, LinkedIn, and X. Also handled account creation, writing video descriptions and tags, and similar tasks when necessary.
• Worked with email and blog designers, graphic artists, sound and visual-effects professionals, and voice actors.

I help you accomplish more without the hassle of managing multiple freelancers or tasks.
