Pricing                      
 
 My fees are fair, reasonable, and reflect the quality of the work I perform for you.

While some writers quote their hourly-rate, I prefer to first ascertain the scope of your project and assess the time I will need to devote to your document in order to arrive at my fee.

Often I quote a flat-rate fee for a particular project. This includes a limited number of revisions. I aspire for my clients to achieve satisfaction with their document before I close the project.

Certain projects may be invoiced at an agreed upon hourly rate. I encourage any potential client to first discuss with me their objectives so we may arrive at a proper billing rate.

Document pricing varies depending upon the document complexity and how much information the client provides (in documentation and preliminary research).

Certain writing projects require a retainer payment of up to 75% of the agreed amount prior to commencement of work. I "Slot" or "Calendar" my clients. First in/First out.

Certain Projects require full payment in advance.

I also am available on retainer for consultation. Under this arrangement you may phone me at your convenience to discuss your particular business concerns. Please contact me for discount rates.

You are encouraged to inquire about my rates as they apply to your specific situation.                           
 
During certain months of the year I offer discounts of up to 10%.  And always you are encouraged to ask for the discount AFTER I have quoted your fee.  Check back often to see which specials are available. September Discount: All projects quoted from September 15 through September 19 receive a 10% discount. Ask for the discount AFTER I have quoted your fee.
