Charges for services

Because each assignment is different, it is not possible to list the cost of services until the scope of the project is known. Rest assured, however, that charges will be fair, the quality of my work is guaranteed, and you never will be subjected to high sales pressure.

How to begin

1. Send me an e-mail message or a letter outlining your communications needs. For example, do you need to have a speech written, an inspirational message prepared, or a brochure created for your business or charity?
2. Provide me with pertinent information about you, such as your age, education, business status, and why you need professional assistance.
3. I will respond promptly with a detailed questionnaire that will enable us to interact appropriately so that we might achieve a satisfactory conclusion.
