"Is your writing services expensive?"
Writing is a priceless art in
itself and in this kind of art you need a professional to put together the
right balance of simple but compelling words in a tone that matches your target
readers. What is expensive is spending too much time going back and forth in
writing long statements and still end up with empty words.
Here are some more questions clients often ask me about my services:
Here are some more questions clients often ask me about my services:
1.
What
is your writing experience?
Majority of
the writing assignments I have done in the past were for marketing collaterals
used for marketing campaign, business writing and online content.
2.
Is
there an advantage in getting your services as compared to others?
Yes. I am, first and foremost, a marketer
of business. By applying the principles of marketing in my writing style, I am
able to help clients sell more for their business.
I am a professional businessman too. This
means that whatever is important to you is also important to me: budget,
efficient work, deadlines and sales. Burnout and writer's block are non-existent in my practice.
3.
How
long does each writing assignment take?
Project
turnaround depends on how fast you are able to provide the necessary data for
use in the development of the writing assignment and predicative on your
approval date.
Generally, a
basic 1,000-word business writing assignment has a turnaround time of 2-3 days that
includes research, drafting and revisions. For basic 500-word online content,
the turnaround time is 1 day or less.
A brief discussion of your requirement
will provide us with the best answer for the project’s turnaround time.
4.
How
much does your writing service cost? Is it expensive?
Not at all. Our
prices vary depending on the complexity of the project, whether the assignment
is supplied to us with additional data to develop the writing, or will require
additional research on our part. It is always best to have an initial
discussion of the project before I could give you an accurate costing.
Big discounts are given for on-going
project agreements.
5.
What
is your payment policy?
I require partial payment deposit for each project before
starting work. Additional payments for project milestones may also be
required.
6.
What
forms of payment do you accept?
I accept payments in forms of cash,
personal check, bank deposit and money transfer.
7.
Is
there cost for consultation of my writing project?
None. All
initial consultations are free. We can use various digital communication platforms
including email, Yahoo Messenger, Facebook or Skype. Once I have the necessary
information of your requirements, I will email the quotation to you in 24 hrs.
or less.
For those
preferring the traditional communication, you may reach us through my landline.
8.
What
is the writing project process?
Each assignment starts with the discussion
of what message you want the writing project to deliver as well as the writing
structure. Once these are finalized, writing will begin. Once the content is finished, I will submit it to you for your review and approval. Revisions will apply
when necessary before submitting the final document.
9.
Do
you accept rush jobs?
Yes, but
depending on my workload. However, rush writing assignments are prone to more errors
while it is being developed. It is always best to allow ample time for planning
and content development.
10.
Do
you accept technical writing assignments?
Yes. Some
technical writing assignments take more time than others, with or without
additional research. For these kinds of projects, it is best to provide ample
time in the planning stage and content development.
11.
Do
you have sample works we can check out?
I have an
archive of previous works that you can review. Please feel free to check them
out here:
12.
Do
you have a certain business field where your writing specializes in?
My form of
writing is usable for any marketing communication material of any type of
business of any industry. These include marketing collaterals, event program
scripts, press release articles, press conference, video production scripts and
product articles among others.
I have vast
experience as well writing for online content of various niches like business
and finance, health and beauty, romance and sex, relationships, flowers and weddings,
medical and law and book reviews among others. You may check the samples here.
13.
How
can I check the progress of the project?
I will send
the content draft to you through email for review once they are available. I
recommend using Yahoo Messenger or Skype for interactive and simultaneous
discussion of the project.
14.
Are
revisions included in the services?
Yes. I will
develop the initial content based on the data you supplied. I will then submit
the content draft through email for your review and feedback. Revisions, when
required, will follow after your initial feedback.
15.
In
what format will you deliver the final material? How is it delivered?
The final material (approved content) will
be delivered to you in MS Word format.
16.
Who
owns the content when the project is finished?
You or your company will own the rights to
the content once you have approved it and paid in full. I, however, reserve the
right to use your project’s content for discreet promotional purposes
only.
17.
Do
you accept re-writing assignments for existing copy materials?
Yes. Content
re-writing assignments take the same amount of time as a new one, most
specially when the current content needs full updating or may have a new target
reader to make it usable. In this case, I plan well on what to maintain from
the currently existing content and what to improve on.
18.
Will
each project require a contract?
A working contract is your assurance that you are working with a professional. Unless the writing
project will be on a package deal wherein the assignments will be ongoing, then
a contract is necessary. A contract insures that both you and I are protected
under the agreed working condition of the project.
For smaller
projects, I will be issuing a standard job order form that will indicate the
nature of the project and turnaround time commitment.
19.
Do
you offer subsidiary services?
Yes. I can
also provide graphic design services highly complimentary for your writing projects. You may check
out my designs at my design portfolio page. Additional charges may apply.
20.
How
do we get started?
Simply
contact me through thewritingowl.ga@gmail.com
and provide me brief information of your project. We will get back to you as
soon as possible to get started on your project.
