Freelance Writing/Editing

I provide high quality writing and editing with a quick turnaround, to your specifications. Not everyone has the knack of taking ideas and wrapping them in words. That's where a good freelance copywriter/editor comes in. I take your vision: the message you want to convey, the facts that your would-be clients and customers need in order to see why your service or product is just what they need, and I bring to bear my education and experience at your service.

By contracting with me for freelance writing or editing services, you ensure that your project will be handled with the personal care and attention of a professional. I write to your specifications—not only to convey the facts of your case, but also with regard to the intangibles that spell success or failure in copywriting and editing. Choosing me, you choose a copywriter who is sensitive to the nuances of written communication and who works with clients to leave the public with a favorable impression about you and your business.

I am experienced in a variety of types of writing, with strong analytical abilities which make me an ideal provider of freelance solutions for any writing task which requires fast, accurate summary of large amounts of complex or specialized material or which demands that such information be translated into terms that the average person can understand.

Examples of my strengths include:

• Press releases
• Press kits
• Technical documentation (instruction manuals, user guides, etc.)
• Website content
• Business plans
• Policies and procedures
• Advertisements

My rates are competitive. For small writing projects, I usually establish the approximate amount of verbiage needed and charge on a basis of $0.08/word (to give you an idea of what that really means, the content on this page would cost about $35.75).

If you need small-scale editing, I charge on a tiered basis:

• Basic editing to remove errors of typography, diction and punctuation—$0.02/word
• Heavy revision to correct grammar in addition to the above errors—$0.04/word
• Deep revision/rewriting—$.06/word

For larger writing or editing projects or for those which require original research on my part, I charge on an hourly basis rate of $20.00 per hour. I am willing to travel in order to perform research or gather supporting documentation, but such activities incur additional fees to cover any expenses I incur in the process.

Contact me to discuss to establish a quote for your project. I am based in Hammond, LA, but I will work remotely for small projects. Frequent customers may speak with me to establish a retainer arrangement.

I do not accept requests for research or writing which is to be turned in for academic credit.
