Want to hire me?
As a writer with over 300 publication credits under my belt,
as well as a strategic communications background, I have
written just about everything out there, and I am willing to
work for you. I have two separate rates, one for single
writing pieces, and another for extended contracts and
editing work.
What is Strategic Communications?
In a nutshell, strategic communications involves the
identification of a desired or required underlying message,
and crafting both words and deeds to convey this message to
the public. If this sounds familiar, it should - these are
the mechanisms by which brands are built. When you apply
strategic communications to the building of a brand, or, for
example, the repair or making of a reputation, it makes the
entire process more efficient...and it is a skill I can
bring to bear for you.
Single Pieces
My rate for single articles is calculated by the word
count. I charge $250-$300 CDN per thousand words,
rounded up to the nearest thousand, with payment upon
delivery. For documents over 2,000 words, I require an
estimate of how long the finished work will be, and the
first half of the payment in advance, and the rest upon
delivery.
Extended Contracts and Editing Work
For extended contracts and editing work, I charge on an
hourly basis. My fee is $60-$90 CDN per hour for
communications consultations and extended contracts,
depending on the content, with a retainer of the first 10
hours in advance. For editing, my fee is between $30-$50 CDN
per hour. Billing occurs via email on a bi-weekly basis, and
payment is due upon receipt.
If you want me to work for you, please contact me at any
