For mostly any type of copy, including copy for the web, charges will be billed at the rate of $25.00 per hour, subject to a maximum dollar amount provided upon submitting an estimate. (Accumulated hours for comparison against estimate provided along with billing statement.)
For copy of a more technical nature, including references to statistics and involving a lot of background material, the cost for the copy will be $35.00 per hour.
Advertising/promotional copy is billed at the rate of $45.00 per hour.
If it is a project that requires research, the research time would be billed separately at $20.00 per hour rate.
One-third the projected cost is due as a deposit at the beginning of the job, another third is due at the halfway point, and finally the full amount due upon delivering the project on or before the agreed upon date. If it’s not a big project, then it would be ½ the projected cost up front; balance due upon delivery on or before the agreed upon date.
