My rates for copywriting work

(Please note: rates for training programmes are listed in the training section. My fees by for consultancy work are discussed on a case-by-case basis with clients.)

My basic rate for work as a freelance copywriter is £35 (GBP) or $70 (USD) per hour. As I'm based in the UK, I alter the dollar rate now and then to mirror exchange rates.

I work on a fixed fee basis, quoting for a job up front and only changing the final price if the scope of the project changes. That fixed fee includes unlimited revisions - within reason - to the work I do for you prior to payment. I usually don't require a deposit for small projects, but once the budget gets above £200 I ask for a 25% advance fee.

I take huge pride in my work and I like to think I offer the one of the best copywriting services you'll find anywhere. If you think you might become a long-term client, please drop me a line, as I can be flexible about rates for regular work.

Typical prices

None of these are exact, as I quote on a job-by-job basis, but they should give you an idea of the costs involved in hiring me. The final quote I give for any project takes into consideration factors such as length and the amount of research needed.

  • Rewrite of copy for a small website (5-10 pages): £150-£250
  • Copywriting from scratch for a small website: £200-£300
  • Larger websites are quoted according to size. If you anticipate that your job will need work in a number of different media - say, website, brochure and sales letter - I should be able to offer a discounted rate.

  • Business brochure: £150-£300
  • Mailing letter or flyer: £75
  • Press release: £75
  • Articles and features: anywhere between £25 and £250 per article, depending on length, subject matter and number ordered.
