I am glad to provide to you a prompt, confidential quotation for performance of any of the services described.

Brochure

For a summary of editing and writing services, especially the quick-turnaround items, please access and print my PDF BWrightWorks services brochure "How to turn documentation headaches into revenue."  The brochure illustrates the copy writing/editing expertise available from true professionals, who have been satisfying customer marketing and technical documentation needs for decades.

Standard Writing/Editing Rates

The following table shows the range of rates for writing and editing services:

* Full edit is interactive edit with writer, same rate as copyedit w/rewrite

The above rates are based on a standard 8.5 x 11 page, Times-Roman 12-point equivalent text, space and a half between lines, 1.25" margin.  Note: My firm also has a process for performing Web page edits. This process uses a traditional hardcopy edit, and edits are performed on screen captures, then submitted to the customer as a PDF file. No access to source code or html is required. For Web page edits, the rates in the above table are based on a 8.5x11 half-page standard, and are half of that shown in the table.

Special note to non-native English businesses: Especially in those cases where copy has been written by non-native-English persons, we pride ourselves in the ability to understand your meaning and then express your ideas effectively using standard English (American or UK version)—with the customary phrasings and colloquialisms of your industry.

"Brian worked with us to proofread and provide feedback on our site. He went through the site with a fine-toothed comb and was great about finding mistakes and making suggestions. He was easy to work with, professional and provided results at a reasonable cost. Brian also helped us write some documentation for some of our products. We've been happy with the work and would recommend him for any writing/editing job, especially Web-oriented."
