Do you have a price list?

Not exactly. While I do have minimum amounts for certain services and word counts, I prefer to quote on a per-project basis. Each client has his or her own specific needs and expectations, and each project can vary widely in terms of density and scope. When quoting a project, some of the factors I consider include:

  • The nature of the content
  • The desired length and/or word count
  • The amount of research I'll need to do to become an expert on the topic
  • The estimated amount of time the project will take to complete

Although I compete more by the quality of my work than by price, I can promise you fair and competitive rates. If you have a project you'd like me to evaluate, contact me and I'd be happy to provide a quote.

Where are you located? Do you work remotely?

I'm based in Cincinnati, Ohio — home of the Reds, Bengals, and delicious Skyline Chili. One of the many perks of my job is the ability to provide content services for anyone, anywhere. My clients span a range of locations, from various parts of the United States to international venues. No matter where you and your business live, or what time zone you're in, I can provide you with timely and relevant content.

Do you have a "day job"?

Nope. Unlike some freelancers, who may be picking up side jobs to save for vacation or pay off credit cards, I am 100% committed to my work — it's truly my passion. I believe that superior content requires a specialized focus and an unwavering dedication that part-time moonlighting simply can't achieve. When you hire me, you get a writer who puts your content needs at the top of the priority list. This is all I do, and I'm very good at it.

Do you require payment up-front?

I prefer a 50% deposit upon confirmation of the project, another 25% upon delivery of the agreed-upon first installment, and the final 25% upon completion of the project.

How do I pay you?

I accept payment via PayPal or mailed check.

I need a project turned around ASAP — can you help?

I'll surely do my best, but I am usually scheduled with projects for at least a month in advance (which I take as a sign that I'm doing something right). That said, once I commit to a client and begin work on their project, I make it my #1 priority. If you'd like to book me for an upcoming content need, contact me as soon as possible to get on my calendar. I've never met a deadline I couldn't beat, so you can rest assured you'll get what you want, when you want it.

Do you conduct research in addition to providing content?

Absolutely — I don't think one can exist without the other. As far as I'm concerned, it's impossible to write with authority unless you are an authority. Before I write a single word, I do everything I can to become an impromptu expert on the topic at hand. From bowling to Mardi Gras to marketing, I immerse myself completely in the subject matter to ensure that you receive thorough, accurate content. I also provide any necessary keyword research for SEO.
