Working With Me
The Process
How It Works
-
Contact & Discovery
The first step is for you to get in touch via the contact page on this website, letting me know a bit about your business and what writing support you need.
After that I’ll send you a link to book your free 30-minute discovery call if I think I can help you.
During the call I’ll learn as much as I can about your business, your offers, and your short and long-term goals and needs - and how I can solve your problems with engaging and persuasive copy or content!
After the call I’ll send you a detailed proposal outlining exactly how I can help and how much it will cost.
You read the proposal and let me know what you want to go ahead with.

Onboarding
If it’s a yes, great! I’ll send you my contract with terms of service and a detailed scope of work. Once you’ve read through and signed the contract, you’ll receive an initial invoice.
For project work of less than £250 in value, the full fee is payable in advance. For project work of £250 or more in value, you’ll receive invoices in instalments — 50% is payable in advance and the remaining 50% is payable after I deliver the final version (one round of amendments is included as standard. Additional rounds of edits can be paid for).
Once any initial invoices are paid, I'll ask you to share any branding and style guidelines you have, as well as market research you’ve done and other relevant info about your business that will help me get to know your brand and your audience.
This includes asking you to complete a Writing Brief Form which will ask you various questions about your business to help me write copy or content you’ll love.

Writing & Editing
Once I’ve got everything back from you, I can get started! We can have an additional kick-off call here if needed.
I’ll get to work writing the first draft of the content, including researching your brand, your audience and your offers thoroughly, and referring to the completed Writing Brief Form and any other information you’ve sent me.
I’ll work towards any deadlines we’ve agreed, and keep you updated throughout. Once I send you the first version, you have 7 days to return your feedback to me. Your feedback is a valuable part of the process and will inform the final version.
After receiving your feedback, I’ll write the final version incorporating your comments. I’ll send you the final version by our agreed deadline.

Offboarding
After I’ve sent you the final version of the content, you may have a final invoice to pay. I’ll also ask you to sign off the final version in writing and complete a testimonial for me describing your experience of working with me (which I very much appreciate!).
Then, copyright of the work transfers to you and you can use it however you wish. Hopefully you’ll also want to book in your next project with me!
