| How much do you charge? |
| I work on a day rate. After discussing the project in detail I can give you an accurate estimate of the total cost. Any extras will be discussed up front as I believe hidden charges do neither of us any good. And I also offer a substantial discount after a certain guaranteed volume of work. |
|
| What is the best way to work? |
| After briefing me on your needs by phone, including explaining how the project will be used, the intended audience, and so on, you send me any printed material I will need to complete the project. I then create a first draft and send it to you. We then discuss it and I make any changes before re-sending it to you. This is usually all it takes. |

| Can we meet? |
| Certainly. But one advantage of working with a freelance is that you don’t tend to spend a lot of time face-to-face; if, indeed, we need to spend any time meeting in the flesh at all. Most of my clients are happy to keep meetings to an absolute minimum. I’m low maintenance and tend to just get on with the project in hand. |
|
| What’s it like working freelance? |
| Great – but only for certain types of people. If you are a gregarious socialite in the office you might miss all of that water cooler chat. But I love it. I work at home and seem to get three times more work done than I would in a crowded office. For the right type of person with the right skills, it certainly is the future. |
