What's a great communication brew worth?

Copywriting & Business Writing
Good writing does not come cheap.
And cheap writing can be very expensive if it damages your brand and professionalism, and does not speak to your audience.
For marketing copywriting, report writing (including annual reports), tender writing or any other business writing, you need a writer who can engage your audience – customers, stakeholders and policy makers alike.
My minimal hourly rate is below, but most clients prefer a fixed price quote on a project basis, given them budget certainty.
My terms are 50 percent upfront to confirm a project in my schedule, with the balance due seven days after you receive the first draft (with two free rounds of amends). Please see my full T&Cs and, if you have any questions, refer to the FAQs.
Hourly fee: From $110, minimum 3 hours for new clients.
Proofreading and editing
Sometimes, all you need is a little spit and polish to give your business and marketing copy some extra oomph.
Rates are dependent on the level of proofreading and editing required, and the technical difficulty of the subject matter. They start from $30/1000 words for basic proofreading (grammar, spelling, punctuation) up to $80/1000 words for heavy copyediting.
Communication strategy
If you would like to have a chat about your branding, marketing focus, social media options, or any other communication-related topic, I am happy to offer the first 15 minutes at no cost. After that, the charge is $80/30 minutes or $150/hour.
I prefer to consult via phone or skype, but if you live and work locally and would like to meet in person, the invoice will include a travelling charge, depending on where the meeting is held.
If you need ongoing public relations or marketing assistance, but don’t need a full- or part-time employee, you can outsource to me for a minimum of five hours/month. For that, I will help with you marketing activities, look out for opportunities to promote your product or service, and alert you if anything relevant crops up.
As part of your consultation service, I can also provide communication project management and training in small business marketing, plain English writing, branding, media, or public relations.
Small business copywriting coaching
If you would rather write your own copy, but just need a little guidance, my Skype coaching sessions are perfect.
At just $150 for an hour, we will cover how to write persuasive marketing copy that speaks to your target audience and is Google-friendly.
