Frequently Asked Questions
How do you charge – by the hour or by the project?
We charge by the project, meaning we give you a set fee for the project. This fee will not change unless the scope of the project changes. We also offer copywriting packages for those companies who need ongoing copywriting support.
How many rounds of revisions are included in your estimates?
Each project estimate includes two complimentary rounds of revisions, with each additional round charged at our hourly rate. Please note that if revisions involve a complete change of direction or scope from the original work, these revisions fall outside of the complimentary rounds included. Any revisions must be requested within 30 days of your receipt of the copy.
What’s required to get started? What are your terms?
We require both a signed estimate and fee agreement as well as a deposit of 50% of the project fee to begin work. For your convenience, you can pay both the deposit and final balance via company check or PayPal. Clients will be billed for the final balance after a first draft of the copy is submitted. The final balance is due within 10 business days of receiving invoice.
