Pricing and Process

As professionals with decades of experience, we deliver content quickly and thoroughly. Projects are priced at a flat rate (based on an hourly rate of $100) so your costs will be predictable.

An initial 30-minute consultation to determine the scope of the project is free. After that we’ll write out the parameters of the project, including the research required, the timing of each step, number of revisions and pricing. After you sign and return our contract (and any required deposit), we’ll start right away to deliver your message to your target audience.

We work hard to cut you the best deal we can offer. To give you an idea of what copywriting for various projects typically costs, see the Copywriters Council's Fee Guidelines.

For initial assignments for first-time clients, we require half the fee at the time the contract is signed. The balance is due when the final draft is accepted by the client. Payment for subsequent assignments is due when the final draft of the project is accepted by the client. If the project exceeds 60 days, we’ll agree to a step payment system. Rush jobs (copy due in less than two weeks from receipt of deposit and signed contract) may be subject to a premium charge agreed to in advance. If you prepay the full amount, you get a 5% discount.
