I am a professional copywriter and scriptwriter; experienced in SEO and online marketing. I have a Distinction MA in Creative Writing and have been working as a freelancer for over 15 years. I have a versatile voice that can be friendly and enthusiastic, or informative, academic, or educational. In the nicest possible way, could I ask that you please observe my hourly rate before you send me an invite to your job? I charge by time, not by word - I don't do fixed-rate jobs unless they cover the time required to do the job. I run a small publishing company (WFTS Books) and can create interactive eBooks from given copy or create new copy to a stated research topic. I love researching and translating that research into accessible, digestible content for the web or for print. I have 15 years experience as a teacher (PGCE), so have loads of experience of creating educational resources and interactive web-based content. As a (very rough) guide a 500-word blog piece takes around an hour, but it depends on the research required. Please don't suggest a negotiation unless it matches my hourly rate. And remember, I charge for my time, not per word. Thank you!!
