Why should I pay someone to do something I can probably do myself? Can’t everyone write?

Yes, everyone can write but not at a professional caliber. I can hammer nails and cut wood but it doesn’t mean I would build my own house – I’d hire a qualified and experienced contractor. Most professional writers produce more content in a couple of months than most people write in their entire lives. A qualified business writer knows how not just to inform your market but to engage and sell.

We’re just a small business. Do I really need to spend money on stuff like this?

Just because you’re a small business doesn’t mean you don’t need professional communications. As a matter of fact, many small businesses fail or suffer strictly because of a lack of communications. Business plans and promotional literature are especially important for small businesses that are trying to build their clientelle.

How are you going to produce content to my liking?

The key to producing creative copy to a client’s satisfaction is communication, probing and picking on my part. Whether we’re working on a short profile for your media kit or a training manual for your employees, I’ll discover the needs and desires of both your business and your clients. Through an intial consultation by phone and email,we will get a grasp of what it is that you’re trying to accomplish. We’ll then select the proper format and will create a custom proposal that lays out all of the details.

How do you work?

I work independently but do occasionally hire contract writers for larger projects. I provide text only and do not handle graphic design or printing. However, I do have relationships with and can recommend reliable graphic design professionals or I can partner with an in-house designer if you have one.

How fast is your turnaround?

It all depends upon the size of a project. While I might be able to turn around an executive profile or a press release in a day or two, a 200-page company directory or manual could take a couple months or more.

What are your rates?

Every project and client is unique and because of that, I can not offer any standard rates.  All projects are agreed to in a contract and payment is due upon completion for smaller projects, in stages for larger ones. EMAIL me or call me at (504) 738-0341
and we can discuss how I can help you.

Why should I work with you instead of some giant copywriting firm?

I’ll tell you why. The bottom line is personalized service, attention to detail and a genuine desire to provide the content to suit your needs. I’m not interested in obtaining big “accounts” – I’m interested in establishing relationships and helping small and mid-sized businesses succeed. You’ll have the pleasure of knowing that you’re not one of hundreds of clients and will rarely have to battle for my time. Besides, I am a renegade at heart and I can help you go after your market with a budget that larger firms might laugh at.
