PROCESS

 

We both value our time. That’s why I keep initial consults about your needs focused and efficient, and start every project with a contract that protects both of our interests. This typically spells out standard elements such as:

¨ Purpose, tone, and value of your project

¨ Authorized contact person for your organization

¨ Two scheduled opportunities for revision/rewriting

¨ Final deadline

¨ My hourly rate, to be billed for extended consultations, meetings, and additional rewrites

¨ Rush fees, which may apply to jobs with very short deadlines or weekend work

¨ Credit, i.e. whose byline is to appear on the piece

¨ Permitted uses of a commissioned work

¨ Deposit, typically 50% of the project value, required to reserve my time for a project

¨ Terms of payment
