Deciding on Price-per-word versus Price-per-hour
The most straightforward approach and the best option for knowing your project fee at the onset is price-per-word. I will ask you for a random sample chapter to assess the complexity of the project, and if the manuscript needs significant work, I will recommend the price-per-hour rate.
Copywriting
With hundreds of print ads and television commercials under my belt for clients such as Petco, Citibank, Disney, Bolla Wines, Paramount Domestic Television, and Dep Hair Care, I can take on any category and provide stellar copy. I’ve worked at agencies across the country, both large and small, from FCB and Wunderman Thompson Intelligence to Cohen/Johnson and Colby Effler. I give the same care to a single page print ad as I do a big-budget television campaign. With me, concept is king.
