FAQ

What are your qualifications as a copywriter?

I have worked as a senior copywriter, technical writer, PR specialist, and marketing director for more than thirteen years. I have written successful copy for brochures, advertisements, annual reports, press releases, Web sites, bios, medical articles, business and marketing plans, newsletters, and training programs. I have an MBA and have started and grown small businesses. I know where you’re coming from, and I know how compelling copy can move your company forward. I give each project my full attention and won’t stop until you have copy that sparkles.

How long does it take to complete a writing project?

It depends on the project. Smaller projects are generally completed within 5-7 working days. Larger projects may take several weeks. Rush projects can usually be completed in a few days. Once I know the scope of your project, I will provide you with a timeline.

How will you know enough about my business to write about it?

You are, unquestionably, the expert about your business. And that’s the way it should be. My job is to ask you a lot of questions about your company, your products, and your customers so I can formulate a targeted message to help you achieve your goals.

What is your process? How will we work together?

Simply contact me with a description of your project, and I will promptly send you an estimate. Once you give me the go-ahead, I will send you a link to the online client information form. This form will collect data about your company, customers, and specific project needs. You will also be asked to review and agree to the terms and conditions of the contract.

Once I have received your client information form and any supporting information you have, I’ll get to work on the assignment. I will provide you with a first draft and ask you to thoroughly review it to ensure that it hits the mark. I will gladly incorporate any of your changes or suggestions to make sure that the copy exceeds your expectations.

Many of my clients prefer to work with me via e-mail, but I am also available via phone. Choose the way that makes you comfortable.

How much do you charge?

Each assignment is unique. The specific cost for your copywriting project will vary depending on factors such as timeframe, length, and amount of research required. I assure you than my rates are more than competitive. Please contact me and I’ll be happy to put together an estimate for your specific project.

Will you edit copy that I have already written?

Absolutely.

Do I own the rights to copy you write for me?

Yes, once your account is paid in full, you will own all rights to the copy. I do, however, reserve the right to include your project in my portfolio.

I try to create a certain feel with my products. Will your writing style work with my business?

Your company has a personality. The copy you use is a reflection of that. Maybe you’re going for a young, hip market and want your message to be edgy. Maybe you need a business plan to take to the bank and want it to be more buttoned-up. My writing style conforms to what you need and how you want to connect with your customers.

I’m nervous about hiring a copywriter. How do I know you’re the right one for me?

Hiring a professional copywriter is a big step for both you and your business. I want you to feel confident about your decision to hire ExpressionWorks for your copywriting and marketing needs. Ask me questions, read through my work, or call me to chat about your goals and how I can help you achieve them. Please also read through some of ExpressionWorks’ testimonials to see what some of our other clients have to say about their experiences.

Will I have to sign a contract?

You will need to review and agree to the terms and conditions by clicking the ‘I Agree’ button on the online client information form. This constitutes a legally binding contract.

What is your preferred method of payment and do you require a deposit?

I accept all major credit cards and payment by check. For new clients, I require a deposit of 50% before starting your project. The balance is due within 7 days of delivery of the completed copy. For established clients, I will invoice you upon completion of the project. Payment is due within 7 days.
