Trust Your Freelance Copywriter - After Some Due Diligence

Using an outsider to write your marketing materials makes most people uneasy. Find out as much as you can before trusting a freelance copywriter with your white paper or web copy. 

On this page you'll find out what results to expect when working with me, the beliefs and values that form the basis for my working relationships, how I approach copywriting projects, and what makes me different than other freelance writers.

Expected Results

When you hire Write Advantage Inc., your writing projects are completed in a timely manner.  All my projects have been completed on or before my deadlines. I know that my work is just a piece of what is going on in your business and that you've likely planned other tasks around my due date. I respect that, and if it looks like a due date will be a problem, I'll let you know as soon as possible.

Your target audience will clearly understand your message.  I'll gather information from your company, as well as other sources, to be sure I have an accurate understanding of your audience. The copy you receive will be written in a style appropriate for your company using terms and language familiar to your audience.

To the extent possible, copy will be delivered ready for you to use. The writing will be accurate, professional, and free of typographical and editorial errors. If there are questions regarding the project, I'll call attention to them in the transmittal of the copy. For copy intended to be posted on a web site, I'll deliver a text file and a Word file so that your webmaster knows what formatting is intended.

Guiding Beliefs and Values

My success is measured by your success.  If I deliver a project to you that doesn't meet your needs, then I haven't done my job.  My goal is to establish long term relationships with my clients.  With few exceptions, I've received repeat business from clients within six months of completing the first project.

I'll only take on your white paper, web copy, or other writing project

• If I can meet your schedule
• If I can meet your budget
• If my expertise is a match for your needs

Approach

Setting up and working a project with Write Advantage is easy.  I'll help to make sure the deliverable is well defined, the schedule is set, and that you know how much you'll need to pay for the project. After an initial consult over the phone or in person, I'll draft a scope, deliverable, schedule, estimate, and terms. This will serve as the work authorization for the project. For your convenience, you can accept via email.

I can work onsite or offsite.  I'm available for in-person meetings if you want or need them.  I'll work independently or as an integral part of your team.  I'll provide you with the full benefit of my background and training – even if that means I'm delivering more than my specific scope.

How I'm Different

Most writers say they can write anything.  While that may be true, I believe that not all writers can write everything well.  So, I really consider my abilities and limitations when deciding whether or not I'll take on your project.  I may end up telling you that you should look for another freelance commercial writer. 

Unlike many writers, I'm logical and analytical.  I hold an engineering degree and worked in the nuclear and environmental industries as a consulting engineer. This background gives me a different perspective than writers that come from the fine arts.  I see things from a big picture point-of-view. This makes me see connections and possibilities that other writers may overlook.
