WHAT I DO I write B2B CONTENT that engages readers and promotes your business. I am an experienced, high-end business writer. If you want excellent service and content, I am happy to help you. My prices are often more expensive than other writers. If you want inexpensive content or white papers, you should look for other writers. INDUSTRIES I primarily write for technology, insurance, healthcare, and logistics. EXPERTISE I have been working with large and small corporations, entrepreneurs and consultants for many years to create documents that show their expertise - and win them business. I provide text-only documents. I'm not a graphic artist but will work with your graphic artist. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR Upwork clients ask for “world-class” writing and copywriting for $25 an hour. There are lots of $25 writers and copywriters. That’s not me. And I never charge on a per-word basis. If you’re ready to work with a true expert that provides professional results, then let’s talk. PROJECTS YOU MAY NEED WHITE PAPERS. One of my whitepapers resulted in a campaign with over 400 downloads. I do high-quality research and write 2,000+ word documents that attract, inform, and sell to your prospects and clients. ARTICLES. I have written well-research articles from 500 to 1,500 words for over a dozen industries. I include text-only and SEO research – or use your SEO research as a writing guide. POLICIES, PROCEDURES, & PROPOSALS. I write all those manuals and documents you need that help you sell your business - and organize your employees to do great work. EXECUTIVE & THOUGHT LEADER WRITING. If you are an executive, consultant, or thought leader, you need a voice but don’t have time to write. I write articles, eBooks, LinkedIn articles, and white papers that showcase your thought leadership and expertise. WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE A PROFESSIONAL & EXPERIENCED FREELANCER. First, I NEVER DISAPPEAR. I have heard too many stories of disappearing freelancers or previous contractors who do crappy work and leave. I believe in helping your business succeed and I show up. Second, I DELIVER ON TIME AND ON BUDGET. Finally, I DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY WORK THAT GROWS YOUR BUSINESS If you want inexperienced or mediocre work, there are plenty of other freelancers who can help you. I fill in the talent gaps that you can’t do yourself. MY PROCESS OF WORKING WITH YOU Once you send me an offer and I accept, then we get started. I will ask you about your reader, your client, and your goals. I will ask you questions about where you are now and what you want to achieve. If I have to do research, I use only high quality and reputable references. And I NEVER plagiarize – you will always get original work from me. I will provide you with text only, no graphics. You’ll get a first draft. Then you edit it. Then I make final edits. Experience has taught me that clients who want unlimited edits will never get their document published. I'M LOW DRAMA & EASY TO WORK WITH I’m a full-time freelancer, but I’ve worked for large corporations most of my life so I know what it’s like to be under pressure to get things done. WHAT’S NEXT? Invite me to your job and I will respond within 24 hours. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO BE A GREAT CLIENT 1st - Verify your Payment Method Freelancers have no guarantees of getting paid if you don’t verify your payment – which is why you aren’t getting many applicants. Please verify it because I won’t work with you until you do. 2nd – Provide a detailed Project Description Freelancers must spend part of our budget to apply for your job. Clearly explain what you want and we’ll happily apply for your gig. If you supply only a few words, we don’t know what you want and won’t apply for it (at least that’s my policy.) 3rd– don’t over-promise or expand the job You don’t have to promise long-term work for me to apply for your job. That comes after we build a relationship. Finally – be professional after we start working together Don’t disappear. Don’t ask for twice the work we agreed to. Communicate frequently. Fund your milestones. Be collaborative. LET’S GET STARTED AND GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PROJECT!

Business Proposal Writers Hiring FAQs

What is a business proposal writer?

Business proposal writers research prospective clients for your business and write tailored business proposals that describe how your product or service meets their needs. High-quality business proposals deliver an outstanding argument for consideration and include the cost of implementing your solution with tiers of services and fees.

How do you hire a business proposal writer?

You can source business proposal writers on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a business proposal writer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview business proposal writers. Once freelancers begin responding to the project description, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview.

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of business proposal writer you need to complete your project. 

How much does it cost to hire a business proposal writer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced business proposal writer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their business proposal writing services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by business proposal writers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $50 per hour
  • Intermediate: $74 per hour
  • Advanced: $135 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a business proposal writer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample business proposal writer job post titles:

  • Business proposal writer needed to help with marketing agency pitches
  • Law firm seeking a business proposal writer to connect with hospitals
  • Experienced business proposal writer needed to edit a short business proposal

Project description

An effective business proposal writer job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From research to editing, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or proposal formats, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Business proposal writer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of business proposal writer job responsibilities:

  • Write and edit proposals that clearly convey business information and details about products and/or services
  • Research prospective clients to gain an understanding of the audience and tailor proposals accordingly
  • Consult other professionals on the business team to gather and present accurate information
  • Collaborate with graphic designers, layout specialists, additional writers, and others to create the best proposal possible

Business proposal writer job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications you’re looking for in a business proposal writer. Here are some examples:

  • Familiar with word processing and document creation software such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Adobe Acrobat
  • Experience with proposal writing, grant writing, or other business writing
  • Ability to create a proposal strategy and meet regular deadlines
  • Excellent communication skills
