An initial 30 minute consultation is provided free
of charge.
All fees quoted are negotiated in advance and are
flat rate. This rate covers all costs of research, production, and
electronic delivery of the copy. If travel is
required, travel expenses are taken on a case by case basis and are
negotiated separately. There are no surprise
expenses or budget overruns.
The fee covers the copy and recommendations for
basic
formatting where necessary, delivered the buyer's choice of Microsoft
Word and/or Adobe PDF format. It does not include charts, graphics, or
design elements of any kind. If you need these services, I can provide
referrals to graphics and web designers who can provide them.
Unlimited revisions are covered up to 30 days after
first delivery, provided the scope of the project has not changed. A final proofing to check formatting before publication is
provided at no charge.
A signed contract and 50% deposit are required
before starting any project. The remainder is due within 30 days of the
delivery of the first draft. There is a 10% discount if the entire fee
is paid in advance. A rush fee may be charged for any project with a
deadline of less than one week.
I reserve the right to renegotiate fees in the case
of scope changes after the contract is signed.
If the project is killed after the writing is
completed, the full fee is still due. Projects killed while the material
is under construction are subject to a kill fee based on the percentage
of project completion.
Excellent customer service comes standard.
