Estimates and Billing

I work on a project, retainer or contract basis.

In general, after a client and I have discussed what’s needed, I provide an estimate that includes the project steps and the anticipated cost using a low-high range. I base the cost on the project’s size (such as word count or number of components), urgency and time required to complete one to several drafts. To receive a quick estimate, e-mail me or call 773/837-6569.

I don’t bill beyond the quoted price unless project parameters change. Then the client and I will discuss these developments before I continue. For first-time clients, I require half of the estimated cost before the project begins.

For ongoing projects, clients receive an invoice on the 15th or 30th of each month for work completed to that point. For completed projects, I invoice upon acceptance. Payment is requested within 30 days.
