Please note, these are just rough estimates to give clients an Idea of my pricing. The final quote you receive after submitting a project request is a custom quote based on length, research needed, estimated time to complete, a per-word or hourly rate based on my experience level, market standards, any revisions, editing (I edit all of my work), etc. I am always happy to reevaluate and update a quote with clients, within reason.

Here are two wonderful blog posts that explain how freelance writers charge–and the factors that go into this:

https://www.clearvoice.com/blog/survey-results-factors-determining-freelance-rates/
I consider myself in the “Intermediate” experience level, as I have six years of professional experience and four years of non-professional experience. When determining my rates, I mainly use the factors of:
time needed to complete a full draft of the project
experience level
time for for final edits (I copyedit all of my work) & revisions
time for research
After sending a client a quote for a project, I am always happy to break down the specifics of how I determined the quote and to discuss further, if needed.
I have tailored my rates more closely to the earnings of copywriters in the Las Vegas, NV area since that is where I am based–you’ll see that these are significantly lower/more affordable than coastal hubs such as New York & LA. Great news: my rates will always be based upon the market standards of where I live, not you, so take advantage of my wonderful cost of living here in Nevada and let me help you with your needs at the perfect rate!
