WHAT IS YOUR PROCESS?
After an introductory email from you, I will ask you to send me a brief description of your project. If it looks like there’s a potential fit, it would be time to set up a meeting in person or by phone, to discuss your project in detail.
I would want to know your business goals, content needs, timelines and budget. I will then send you a proposal outline. We know it’s a “Go” if a mutual comfort level emerges after we have discussed all facets of your project.
From there, I will send you a creative brief that outlines the elements discussed, including my fee. The ball will get rolling once I have your written agreement.
HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
That question deserves a detailed answer – with YOUR details that will meet YOUR needs. That is to say that charges will vary according to the size and scope of the project. There is a big difference in price between a project requiring none or very little research, to one that needs intensive research and continuous web content.
Once we’ve determined all the details of your project and your budget, I will send you a proposal including fees and timelines.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU WRITE?
In addition to case studies, white papers, articles and blogs, I also write B2B/B2C content and emails. If SEO is a priority, I can easily insert key words into any piece necessary.
WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?
I began editing peer reviewed pieces in the health care industry and then writing news and feature stories for community and then the large daily papers such as, The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star and National Post. Several human interest stories also have my name on them, for an online magazine.
As for blog posts, I wrote a blog in real time for a young Italian adventurer as he retraced the journey of one of his countrymen down several rivers in the Yukon, as well as blogging for a professional website in Education.
I’ve written public relations materials for a couple of non-profit organizations and a pilot project; video scripts for a global outreach mission and edited their 500 page training manual. Speaking of editing, I’ve edited several academic papers and developed some school curriculum as an Adult Literacy Instructor during my time as an educator.
I’ve also written web content for the antiques and computer industries. It was a truly joyous experience writing speeches for professional organizations – one being touted as “the best speech of the night.”
