My writing process in detail

When we begin discussing a potential collaboration, I’ll take the time to learn about your business. My goal is to ensure that I’m the right fit for your needs, as I respect your time and want to deliver the best possible results.

The form you fill out to get in touch won’t just ask about your industry and content marketing budget. I’ll also want to understand your biggest content challenges, your target audience, what success looks like to you, and the type of writing you value.

This approach allows me to get to know your business even before our call, making our conversation more focused and productive. It also ensures I can provide a tailored solution that aligns with your goals.

I’ll review your responses within 2 business days, and I’ll send you an email with a link to schedule a call at a time that works for you.

During our call, I’ll ask more in-depth questions to understand better your audience, current content strategy, goals, competitors, past successful topics, and any future topics you’d like to explore.

As I understand more about your needs and I share my approach to research and writing, we’ll define the scope of the project, including the number of blog posts, word count, specific topics, calls to action, deadlines, and any additional details like CMS input and image work that you might require from me.

After the call, you’ll receive a proposal from me based on what we discussed. Once you confirm the options you want, you’ll receive a contract and a 50% deposit invoice. Once that’s signed and paid, I’ll build out my systems for your project, like Google Drive folder setup, a project in Trello, and dates in my Google calendar for our future calls.

Finally, I’ll ask you for any additional resources I might need from you, like style guidelines, login info for your CMS (if agreed), and any insights you may want to incorporate, and so on.

Then, I write!

When the first draft is ready, I’ll share it with you via Google Docs. Your task is to review the draft and provide consolidated feedback, including any thoughts or questions in the comments.

Once I receive your feedback, I’ll make the necessary edits within 1-2 days. You’ll then have the chance to review the updated draft, and we can repeat the revision process if needed, as you’re entitled to two rounds of revisions.

After you approve the final draft, I’ll send you an invoice for the remaining balance.

Once we’ve completed the writing and editing, I’d love to hear your feedback on my process and your overall experience working with me.

As someone who values long-term collaborations, if we’ve just wrapped up a one-off project and you were pleased with the results, we can explore the possibility of an ongoing partnership. We can discuss how this might benefit your business and determine the best way to move forward.
