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.

My basic rate for work as a freelance copywriter is £375 per day.

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 £1000 I ask for a 25% advance fee.

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 an average website (5-10 pages): £500-1125
• Copywriting from scratch for an average website: £600-1500

Larger websites are quoted according to size and requirements (for example, complex SEO keywording takes longer). 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: from around £450 for a very short brochure. Longer corporate brochures of 12-20 pages are usually between £750 and £1500.
• Mailing letter or flyer: £225
• Press release: £150
• Product descriptions: £5-10 per item for short descriptions (rates negotiable for large product ranges).
• Articles and features: anywhere between £200 and £500 per article, depending on length, subject matter and number ordered.
