THE NITTY-GRITTY

Fees
The first thing you might be wondering about is my price. I haven't posted it here, and for a good reason! No two projects are the same, and I calculate my rates based on the project's difficulty and the estimated time it will take me.
However, I do have some general rules I stand by:
-
I typically charge on a per-hour basis for short-form content (e.g. web copy and social media posts), editorial work, and translations
-
For blog posts and articles (the longer stuff), I have a per-word rate
If you were wondering what's included in my price, here you go:
-
Research into your industry and product
-
Basic keyword research for SEO
-
Writing the first draft
-
Up to two sets of revisions
-
One final proofread
Lastly, I am registered for VAT (this is only applicable to you if you're based in the Netherlands, like I am).

What I need from you
Before we start working together, I'll send you a Letter of Agreement that requires a written confirmation of your acceptance of my fee, deadlines, and the scope of the project.

Project scope & turnaround time
If a project requires a change in scope, please let me know so that I can adjust my price accordingly. In some cases I will need to factor in the added time it will take me to complete the extra work.
I typically have a turnaround time of 2-5 days.

Payment terms
All of my invoices have a payment term of 14 days.
If my invoice remains unpaid, I will pursue recovery through a debt collection service, including any additional costs incurred as a result of doing this. This totally sucks, so let's not go down this road :)
If the project is canceled after the work has started, I will charge you for the work I have already done.
