What Write-Aid Costs

The cost of a Write-Aid project is largely dependent on its size and scope.  Each project is evaluated individually, and a detailed estimate is provided to the client.  The estimate will cover the cost of the initial Write-Aid conversion, client review and comments, and one round of corrections.  All payments are to be made in United States Dollars (USD).

 

Some examples of the cost range of Write-Aid projects:

  • A 2-page business letter could cost between 30 and 75 USD

  • A 4-page brochure with a moderate amount of text could cost between 100 and 200 USD

  • A 1500-word article could cost between 150 and 200 USD
  • A 6-page website with each page containing about 500 words could cost between 250 and 400 USD
  • A 10-page catalog, with heavy text (numerous product listings per page, detailed product descriptions, item numbers, and pricing information) could cost over 500 USD

Again, please remember that these are only examples.  The cost of each Write-Aid project will be determined individually, based on the project’s size and scope.

Write-Aid can also estimate the cost of a project based on your needs:

  • By the hour – This is ideal for small or short-term projects. Write-Aid offers a competitive hourly billing rate, which is charged in quarter-hour increments. 
  • By the piece – This is ideal for clients with several projects of varying sizes and/or clients with recurring work.  Write-Aid and client agree on the cost of each piece individually, based on the Project Description.
  • By the project – This is ideal for large, multiple-part, or long-term projects, for example, a book manuscript.  Write-Aid will review the Project Description and provide an estimate that includes an itemization of the various parts of the total project and how much each part will cost.  The estimate will also include a payment schedule based on the client’s anticipated timeline for the project.
  • By the month – This is ideal for companies that have ongoing materials for Write-Aid conversion, such as standard contracts, letters, and documents.  The anticipated monthly workload is assessed and an appropriate retainer is established with client input.

 

Other cost considerations:

  • Work on Write-Aid projects will not commence until the client approves the estimate and makes a non-refundable deposit.  For work “by the hour” or “by the piece,” the deposit will be 25% of the total estimate. For work “by the project” the deposit will be outlined as part of the payment schedule included with the project estimate.  A deposit is not required in pricing “by the month” since the work is on a retainer basis.
  • Final cost will be due upon delivery of the completed project, or in the case of “by the project” work, according to the payment schedule included with the project estimate. 
  • Final cost for all projects will be no more than 10% above estimate.  If the scope of the project changes significantly due to client requests, a revised estimate will be issued. 
  • When telephone communication is required, all long distance charges will be at the client’s expense.
  • Write-Aid accepts the following types of payment:
    • Credit Card – we accept Visa and MasterCard.  For your security, credit card numbers will only be taken over our private phone line.  Write-Aid is a division of Emprosity Creative Consulting, so charges will appear on your credit card statement as Emprosity.
    • Electronic Wire Transfer – funds are transferred directly from Client’s financial institution to Write-Aid’s U.S. bank account
    • Certified Cashier’s Check
