Wondering what it's like to work with a freelance copywriter?

Your copywriting FAQs, answered. 

Do you charge for a consultation? 
If you have a writing project in mind, let’s talk. I offer complimentary consultations so we can determine whether we’ll be a good fit. 

Is my writing project too small to hire a professional copywriter? 
If your writing project only requires a few sentences, or a brief paragraph, give me a call. When you only have a few words, each one counts! I’m happy to write a killer sentence for your Home Page, a series of posts for your social media channels, or a short blog post. 

Is my writing project too large for a freelance copywriter?
That depends. I’ve worked on some pretty large copywriting projects over the years, so give me a call. We’ll discuss your copywriting needs and your timeline – and then I’ll let you know if I’m able to take on your work. 

I need copy for my new website. Can you help?
Yes. I love writing website copy. Whether you are starting from scratch or have existing content that just needs a good polish, I can help. I’m happy to work collaboratively with your website designer or digital marketing agency.  

I want to launch a blog for my business, but I'm not a writer. Can you help?
Yes. Whether you need a few blogs to get you started, or are looking for someone to be your ongoing ghost-blogger, I can help! 

What other types of writing projects do you do? 
I’ve worked on a wide variety of writing projects since graduating from journalism school in 2004. Freelance magazine articles, media releases, sales & marketing brochures, advertorials (sometimes called promoted content), case studies, business plans, grant proposals, fundraising letters, website copy, email campaigns, blogs, social media posts, advertising & video scripts – I’ve written them all!  

Do you have a writing niche?
I consider storytelling my niche. But I do have experience writing for the financial, insurance, health care, hospitality, and real estate industries. I’ve also covered entrepreneurship, the arts, home design, and so much more....

I work in a specialized industry. Won’t it be hard for you to understand all the technical / scientific jargon? 
If your writing project will be read by a general audience, working with someone without specialized knowledge can be an advantage. I’ll do plenty of research, ask lots of questions, and you’ll be able to review any content before it goes to print, or goes live. If your writing project is beyond my scope, I’ll let you know right away. 

How much does it cost to hire a freelance writer?  
Since every writing project is different, that depends. Once we’ve discussed your writing needs, I’ll be happy to provide a written quote! 

Where can I find samples of your work?
Check out my Portfolio and Blog, but please keep in mind that much of my copywriting work is not bylined. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch. I’d be happy to send you some clips. 

How are you different from other freelance copywriters?
I’ve been running my freelance writing business since 2004, and I’m always upgrading my copywriting skills to keep up with the digital landscape. 

I don’t subcontract any of my work. When you hire me, you’ll be working directly with me, and I’ll be writing every single word. 

I am happy to provide a written quote that outlines the scope of the work, the deadlines, and the final cost. That way, there are no surprises. 

Do you charge HST?
Yes. If you are based in Canada, I need to charge HST. 

Do you work with international clients?
Absolutely! After all, we’re all just a Zoom-call away. 

Do you take credit card payments?
No. But I do accept e-transfers and checks! 

How do I get started on my copywriting project?
Give me a call, send me an email, or fill out the contact form below. I’d be happy to set up an appointment to discuss your writing needs.
