WHY SHOULD I USE A FREELANCE COPYWRITER RATHER THAN AN EMPLOYEE OR AN AD AGENCY?
It’s easy, flexible, and cost-efficient. Many ad agencies require a retainer contract or a minimum annual budget. A freelance copywriter works as needed, when needed. Plus, there’s no need for the full-time salary or benefits you’d have to pay an employee. Not convinced? Try one project. With no long-term commitment, you have nothing to lose.

CAN A PROFESSIONAL COPYWRITER HELP BUSINESSES IN AREAS OTHER THAN ADVERTISING, MARKETING, AND PR?
Yes! Well-written communications are vital in every area of business—from technical manuals and proposals to shareholder and employee communications. Yet most companies are short on good writers. The New York Times reports that over a third of employees at major corporations are poor writers, costing billions in training and an untold loss in efficiency and financial performance. Bringing in a professional copywriter can save money, time, and reputation.

DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN MY FIELD?
It’s a logical concern. After all, who knows more about your business than you do? The answer is simple. Copywriters can work wonders with the written word—no matter the industry—if they know how to unlock the right response from your audience. I actually don’t need to learn every detail of your business to be on target. Through strategic research and proven communication methods, I’ll pinpoint what reaches your audience and gets you results. (And never underestimate the power of a fresh perspective to reenergize your communications.)

DO YOU ALSO PROVIDE GRAPHIC DESIGN?
Although most companies find it easier and better to utilize the specialized expertise of both a professional copywriter and a graphic designer, I know that’s not always convenient or possible. Sometimes you really need a one-stop shop. That’s why I do offer my clients creative design services for a variety of projects. I also partner with several incredibly talented graphic and web designers.

MY OFFICE IS HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM YOU. CAN WE STILL WORK EFFECTIVELY TOGETHER?
The World Wide Web has brought the wide world to my doorstep. I’m able to effectively serve clients not only across the country, but around the globe. In fact, I’ve found that most of my copywriting clients prefer to save time by communicating via phone and email. For those times when it’s absolutely necessary to meet in person, being conveniently located near the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport means I’m only minutes away from connecting to you—wherever you are in the world.

I'D LIKE TO GET PUBLISHED. CAN YOU HELP?
Though no copywriter can guarantee a major publishing house or magazine will publish your work, you’ll definitely improve your chances by getting professional help. And with options like self-publishing and print-on-demand (POD), it’s easier than ever to finally realize your dream. The first step is getting it written, and written well. I’ll help you organize and craft your ideas into an engaging work that grabs your readers. Plus, I'll counsel you on your publishing options and help you decide on the best strategy for you. Imagine being one step closer to your dream today. With your knowledge and my know-how, we can make it happen!

WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?
Since no two projects are alike, I usually quote a flat fee when I know the full extent of the project. If you’d prefer a quote structured differently—by the page for web content or by the hour for consulting or editing—I’ll work with you to provide whatever’s best for you. Request a free quote now.

HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU FINISH MY COPY?
Again, each project is unique. Your quote will include a customized schedule allowing time for research, meetings, interviews, concept, copywriting, and copyediting, as necessary. If you’re in a rush, simply let me know your deadline. If I agree to take on the job, you can rest assured it will be done on time and on target. (Rush orders may be subject to additional fees.)

WHAT HAPPENS IF I WANT REVISIONS?
I’m happy to work with you to create the best copy possible. Something you’ll be proud to call yours. All I ask is that you give me as much detail as possible about what you’d like changed. Typically, two rounds of revisions are included in the fee for copywriting.

HOW DO I HIRE YOU?
It’s easy! Request a free quote right now. We can meet to discuss specifics in more detail, or communicate by e-mail and phone. Once we’ve decided to work together, I’ll ask you to sign a contract detailing the services and fees and we’re ready to begin!
