Services and Rates
How it works
We will have an initial meeting to discuss what your goals are and what’s important to you. Next we’ll decide on the content that needs attention and the services that will work for you. When all the details have been looked at you’ll receive a written report spelling out all we talked about. I will get started immediately. As work progresses, we can confer as many or as few times as you’d like.
You must approve all pieces before they are posted or published.
Composing – Most of the pieces I write are between 300 and 700 words. I charge a flat fee of $175.00 for each assignment. This includes meetings and research. Please see the Content Page to view some of the types of pieces I can write for you.
Ask me about discounted rates for ongoing assignments.
Consulting – You and I will talk about content ideas, create editorial
calendars of topics, discuss ways you can reach more people and enhance your
online tools. I can also take a look at your handouts and promotional materials
and offer suggestions for improving them.
$50 for a 60 minute phone session
Package of 4 sessions per month for $150 including e-mails
Co-Writing – If you want me to make changes to your print or online materials, or if you want me to read over, make suggestions, revise and edit your draft, it’s $75.00 per hour. I will give you an estimate of total cost before the work begins. We can work together on the same session schedule as Coaching.

Additional Words: If you want me to write more than 750 words, we will negotiate a price based on .25/word. You will have a price quote before I begin.
Attendance – if you want me to attend a lecture or listen to a radio show or speech, or read someone else’s book, there will be an additional fee of $50 per hour.
Management – if you want me to manage your sites, respond to comments, and generally take care of things, we'll work out a price based on your traffic.
I read your book(s) for free (if I haven’t already)!
Once Over Lightly
As a client of UpWrite Words you are entitled to this complimentary service. I will read, proof and offer general comments on any piece under 1000 words. If you want to me to read longer pieces, such as manuscripts, a small fee will be charged depending on the length. Let’s talk about it.
The Fine Print
Out of our initial meeting will come an agreement which I will write up and send for your approval. It will also have our agreement on payment arrangements and price, depending on the scope of the assignment. I expect you to approve everything that gets sent, posted or printed. An initial deposit will be required of new clients. I encourage all payments within 30 days.
My Guarantee
I am so certain you will be delighted with the words I write for you, if you’re not, I offer this guarantee: I will revise until you are happy, provided the changes do not significantly alter the length or content of the assignment and any changes are requested within 20 days of delivery.
If you have questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, you may always call (see my Mailing List page) or e-mail me.
