Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

Perhaps the best way to describe what we do and how we can help you is to illustrate it through some of the questions we’ve been asked in the past and share our answers with you, as follows:

How could my firm work with you?

If your firm is using the English language to try to get the message out about your product or service whether it’s in print, on the Web, in an e-mail blast, or other form, we can help you refine your message and ensure you will be speaking to the right audience and then find just the right words and style to effective communicate.

Services are available to clients anywhere in the U.S. who use American English to communicate to copyedit and proofread materials while still applying sound marketing principles to the content based upon the target audience. Work can be submitted as an editable Microsoft Word document (the preferred form) or in PDF format, which can then either be edited with text edits using Adobe Acrobat Professional on my end (viewable with many programs, including the current version of Adobe’s free Reader program) or any unlocked PDF can be converted into a Word document for editing. For Word documents, we will send you versions that show all of the fixes plus any queries PLUS the version that accepts all of the fixes and leaves only the highlighted queries for you.

How do you charge for services?

While we do have standard hourly rates that apply to our marketing consulting, public relations, copywriting, name ideation/rebranding, copyediting, and proofreading services, we are happy to provide you with a written estimate so that you know how much your project will cost without going too far down a tunnel with uncertain costs at the end as many clients find working with a flat rate suits their budgets better. Please write us and describe your project, and we’ll be happy to get back to you promptly with an estimate.
