How We Work At QuickSilver CopyWriters
Discovering Your Story:
-
We want to find your voice. Capture your passion. And uncover that story waiting to be
told.
-
Open discussion is essential, so we'll ask questions, ask a few more, and ask more still.
-
We value every tidbit of information you can contribute; even those that may appear insignificant.
Seemingly unrelated morsels expertly blended can add just the right spice to the mix.
-
Materials needed:
-
Current Brochures and Newsletter.
-
Ad or Article Copy.
-
Copies of Speeches or Presentations.
-
Press Releases.
-

-

-

Don't worry about organizing your materials--that's part of the fun!
Our Process:
-
Meet in person, by phone or email. (We never charge for initial evaluation.)
-
Submit a bid within 48 hours of first meeting. Upon approval, supply a detailed letter of
agreement.
-
Graciously accept 50% up-front payment.
-
Analyze gathered data: all notes taken during meeting, taped interviews (if authorized), background
information provided, etc.
-
Energized from unearthing your story (and lots of coffee), glue ourselves to the keyboard and write
until our fingers ache.
-
Present first draft for revision (two revisions included; any extras charged hourly).
-
Equipped with your suggestions, return to computer and rework copy (more coffee).
-
Upon final approval, invoice outstanding amount and request payment within 15 days.
-
An interest rate of 2% a month will be added to any unpaid balance.
Terms:
-
We charge by the project or by the hour.
-
Project pricing includes: a determined number of meetings, research, brainstorming, necessary
interviews, and of course, the writing (with above mentioned revisions).
-
Not included: out-of-pocket expenses, out-of-area travel, elements considered design in nature (i.e.,
layout or special formatting), or accelerated delivery.
-
If project is cancelled for any reason, completed work will be billed at hourly rate.
-
We'll be happy to do a rush job (for a 50% surcharge).
-
Delivery methods (unless otherwise specified): by email (MS Word attachment) or printed copy sent by
U.S. mail.
-
We retain the right to use the copy as promotional material (or you can pay the 100%
premium for exclusivity.)
-
Your copyright priviliges to the completed work begin as soon as your account is paid in
full.
Our Promise:
-
We don't require handholding or prodding to keep on task. (Kibitzing optional.)
-
While we will do everything in our power to meet your expections, we cannot predict delays
beyond our control. We may ask for your patience under certain circumstances.
-
We maintain a professional attitude. Our job is to make your job easier.
-
Remember our motto: On Time. On Target. On Budget.
-
And we'll be happy to make room on our site for your testimonial about what a joy we were to work
with!
