Competitive Pricing

For One-Time Assignments
I normally charge per project instead of by the hour so clients can rest assured they are within budget.

Subject complexity, word length, the amount of background material provided by the client, the proximity of the deadline, and research or interviewing requirements all affect pricing. All copywriting assignments include one free rewrite.

Because of the variables from project to project, it is difficult to provide universal estimates. As a rule, my prices are much lower than agency fees, and competitive with, or lower than, my professional freelancer colleagues. Contact me for a quick, free estimate!

For an Ongoing Partnership
Cost-conscious companies recognize the value in having one marketing professional:

	Create and follow a media calendar and website content calendar
	Write brochures, speeches, letters to the editor, trade articles, direct mail and more as needed
	Build productive relationships with media and vendors
	Take care of regular press release distribution and website content updates
	Build a knowledge base about your services/products and communications strategy

If this sounds good to you, but you don't want to hire another employee or pay agency prices, consider retaining my services for a low monthly fee.

Your costs will be lower because I can give a discount for a set volume of work. You'll get an experienced marketing communications specialist instead of a new-hire employee or account executive. You'll have priority for project turnaround. And you won't have to pay vacation or sick days, retirement/health plans or employer's tax.
