Writing Pricing

How much does it cost?

One of the first questions most clients ask me is ‘how much do you charge?’  In an ideal world, I’d reel off a standard pricelist and away we go. But, it’s not always that easy. 

My fees are based on a project by project basis. Fees are dependent on how much work is involved and what type of copy you’re after. 

For example, an article where you’ve provided the research, quotes and stats will cost less than one where I’m sourcing all of the above. Similarly, a blog post of 500 words will be less than one that’s 1000.

My rates are a reflection of my years of experience and the time, effort and love that I pour into each project.
Sure, I may not be the cheapest around but, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
