Editorial Support for Small Businesses

editorial support for small businesses

I’m a small business owner, so I recognise how valuable your time is and how important it is to invest your money wisely.

I also understand the importance of publishing quality writing and content that’s clear and effective. Every piece of writing that you share with your customers and clients tells them something about your brand, your standards and your values.

In an ideal world, we’d all be amazing copywriters or have the means to hire one to do the work for us! In reality, that’s not always the case, which is why I’m here to meet you halfway. You do the writing, and I’ll help you refine it.

What can I help you with?

My help for your small business will suit you if you want to:

write your own marketing content, but you’re feeling a little stuck;
spruce up your web copy;
create an eBook on behalf of your business;
polish a lead magnet or other resource you’ve created for your audience.

My work will help you feel confident that what you’re publishing is clear, accurate, and demonstrates your professionalism and enhances your credibility. And it’ll give you back the time to do the thing that you do best – your business!

Need something more?

When you’re feeling really stuck or you just don’t have the time to spare, I can also help you with the writing itself.

The total cost of each service will depend on what you need. The rates for each service differ to reflect the level of review and feedback involved.

Proofreading

This involves checking for errors and inconsistencies in spelling, punctuation and grammar, and highlighting any issues with layout and format. This should be done AFTER your work has been formatted for publication.

Copyediting

This involves checking that what you’ve written is clear, fulfills its purpose and reads well, and checking for errors and inconsistencies in spelling, punctuation and grammar. This should be done BEFORE your work has been formatted for publication.

How does it work?

1. Discussion and brand alignment check

Before we commit to anything, we need to have a chat about what support you need. This will include your requirements, your proposed schedule, and any other expectations you have of me.

I’ll also take some time to look over your existing content to make sure our values align. This is important because I want to build a relationship with you so we get the best results!

2. Quote

After our discussion, I’ll contact you with a quote. This will include:

my fee
a proposed schedule.

3. Booking confirmation

Once you’ve let me know you’re interested and we’ve discussed a start date, I’ll ask you to complete my booking confirmation form, which will act as our contract. When I’ve received your completed form, I’ll send you an invoice so you can pay to lock in my time. If your quote is over AU$500, you’ll be welcome to pay it in two instalments – 50% now and the remaining 50% when my work is complete and before I return your files.

4. Work begins!

Once everything is confirmed, I’ll get stuck into editing, proofreading or writing for you in line with the brief and our schedule!

I’ll return your writing for you to review once my work is complete and you’ve paid any remaining fees. If you choose to revise any of your work as a result of my feedback and would like me to take another look, I will proofread these revisions for you for no additional charge (terms and conditions apply).
