Questions
What owners ask before they hire a writer.
How the work is made
Each piece starts with a short interview with you, or with my own research on your business if you'd rather skip it. I build a voice profile of how you talk, write the draft, score it against my written writing principles, and edit it myself.
On some pieces, yes, and every piece says how much. I work on a seven-level scale: Reviewed, Edited, Coached, Together, Drafted, Iterated and Generated. I set each piece's level by what it needs, more AI where speed counts and more of me where trust does, and the level is stated on the work. I use Claude, from Anthropic, unless you ask for another tool.
The seven levels are my own method, not an outside standard. The first three, Reviewed, Edited and Coached, cap AI's changes at 0%, 10% and 25%. The level is stated on each piece, and you can ask me how any piece was made.
A writer approves every piece before it reaches you, and that writer is me. For anything that names a client or a result, keep one draft review. No writer can promise you'll never check a fact, so check the first pieces, and once they come back right, reduce or drop the reviews. You decide.
No. An interview isn't required, because I can research your business without you, and you decide how many draft reviews you want, including none. If you'd rather the words be yours, write the pitch yourself and send it to me. Every retainer includes editing your own drafts, up to 8,000 words a month on Essentials.
Price and terms
A single piece is $1,000. It includes a scoping conversation (or my own research on your business), angles and a brief, one long-form piece and one review round. The monthly retainer has three tiers: Essentials is $2,200 for two long-form pieces, Growth is $4,400 for four, and Scale is $6,500 for six. Turning a finished piece into four to six short posts is $250 per long piece.
Yes. Start with one $1,000 piece, your next feature presentation, and see whether the room retells it. I won't promise a result. After that, the retainer is month to month.
The retainer is month to month. Unused pieces don't roll over, because the capacity is for that month. If you stop, you keep the finished work and your voice profile.
I'm one writer, which is rather the point. A backup team covers when I'm away. It covers absences, and it isn't a replacement writer.
My Working Agreement, covering privacy and terms, isn't published yet. Until it is, keep client details out of what you send me. You own the finished work and your voice profile. I use Claude by default, and whether client material is kept out of model training will be stated in the Working Agreement. Ask for it in writing before you share anything.
You can, and for a post due tomorrow it's faster. I'm a writer, not a wrapper: I set how much AI goes into each piece, approve all of it, and state the level on the work. To test it, try one $1,000 piece on writing meant to bring in work, a case story or a newsletter, and compare the response with your own drafts. I won't promise a result.
Not for tomorrow. Essentials returns a request in four business days and Growth in two, and Scale goes to the front of my queue. For a post due tomorrow, ChatGPT is faster. I'm for writing that has to sound like you.
When you need a post out tomorrow, because a pool has someone free and one writer has a queue. Choose me when the writing has to sound like you month after month: one writer who knows your business, working from the same voice profile instead of a brief.
There's no outside proof yet that my pieces stay on-voice in month six. What I offer is a month-to-month term, the pieces and price for each tier published up front, a backup team for when I'm away, and a voice profile that's yours to keep. Judge each month's pieces yourself.
Before-and-after samples are being compiled, so none are published yet, and I don't list references. Pieces I've ghostwritten for clients have run in Forbes, Yahoo Finance, Insurance Thought Leadership and BNI. I name the publications, never the clients, and I promise no result.
It's your story and your business, said more clearly. Send me your rough notes and I'll hand back a pitch that still sounds like you. A clear pitch gets repeated. A clever one gets applause.
