Below are some of the most common questions we get asked. If you have a question that isn’t answered here, let us know by email: email@write-upcommunications.co.uk.
Who do you write for?
Anyone who values good writing. Clients are mostly, but not exclusively, in the following sectors: technology, training and development, healthcare and retail. Companies we’ve written for include Deloitte, Carphone Warehouse, Staples, eBay and Lifeline Scientific. We’d be very happy to show you some samples – send us an email if you’d like to see some: email@write-upcommunications.co.uk.
Do you have a writing philosophy?
We write with the aim of capturing hearts and minds. And that requires a lot of headwork.
Most important, we abide by the Society for Editors and Proofreaders Code of practice, Ensuring Editorial Excellence.
To receive a copy of our terms and conditions, please email us.
What do your fees include?
Copywriting projects range in price from a few hundred to several thousand pounds. Fees include up to three interviews, research, drafting and two rounds of revisions.
Please note that we do not price by the hour (except for stand-alone consultations), but we do charge a fixed fee per project. Write to us at email @write-upcommunications.co.uk to discuss your project and what you’d like to achieve. (Or call us.)
Copyediting projects include proofreading.
Can we try you free of charge?
Finding a good copywriter or a good editor is tough. You won’t know how competent they’ll be until you get their copy.
So we’ve made it a breeze for you.
We’ll do all of the following(on request) absolutely free of change:
1. Free initial meeting. We’ll learn what you’re selling and who your customers are.
2. We’ll send you a free document setting out what we understand about your market and your goals. Furthermore, we’ll show you how we think our copy can help you achieve your goals.
3. We’ll edit 200 words of your existing copy without charge so you can see the kind of quality you’ll get from us.
Are there any areas you don’t cover?
Yes. (But, not many.)
Indexing. If you need this work, we suggest you contact the Society of Indexers who can refer you to an indexer.
Page layout/design. If you need this, we can refer you to many highly-qualified suppliers.
Obtaining permission(s). Any necessary permissions, eg to use images, should be obtained before typesetting.
Research or fact checking. We can, however, offer this service for an additional fee.
Project management. Again, we can offer this service, but for an additional fee.
Are you willing to travel to us?
We’ll travel to clients who are based no more than one hour from London.
