Testimonial:
"Just wanted to let you know what a fabulous article you did. We know you spent many, many hours putting it all together!!! The information is interesting and accurate. We are getting quite a number of calls already from folks who have read it and want to know 'what is this' or 'great article about you.'"

Average rates vary, depending on project: writing, editing, or personalized news release composition and distribution. I guarantee to be reasonable and often lower than average. However, it is difficult to simply "throw a figure out" because even between editing projects for instance, there can be great discrepancies from proofreading to copyediting to content editing and beyond. Copyediting can be as low as $10 per page, or $ .03 per word (8 1/2 x 11 inch, 1" margins, TNR font, 12pt.), while proofreading is lower yet.
Press releases average $125-$500 each, contingent upon subject, complexity and whether personalized distribution is included.
So you can see there are variables. Please call or write--not only will I want to know what and how large your project is, I highly recommend that when considering anyone for your project (especially editing) you request a sample page or two. Most professionals will not balk, if they truly want your business. Some of my published samples are available here...
Per page and mini-critiques available. Flat rates and discounts estimated for long-term contracts, with post-contract requirements negotiated. Magazine articles and columns negotiable. Feel free to call/write & ask!
*Trade show and corporate event planning based on a project basis. Includes:
~ Full trade show organization
~ Community benefit events
~ Seminars and Workshops
~ Recommended publicity
I have produced a variety of successful events, including three Write On! writers' conferences and two Budget Bridal Faire trade shows. Corporate trade booth planning has included TV products, books, manufacturing, hospitality industry, and more. Unique insight comes from having worked both sides of events -- as a vendor and as a producer. Throw in a couple of weddings and corporate parties, and you have a well-rounded event planner.
You want your event to be memorable, right? Call for estimate.
